Interventional Radiology

Interventional radiologists are specially trained doctors who use X-rays and other imaging techniques to "see" inside the body. They guide narrow tubes (catheters) and other very small instruments through the blood vessels and other pathways of the body to the site of a problem, treating a variety of medical disorders without surgery. Procedures performed by interventional radiologists (IRs) are generally less costly and less traumatic to the patient, involving smaller incisions, less pain, and shorter hospital stays.
