Interventional Radiology
- Allows radiologists to specialize in minimally invasive, targeted treatments using image guidance that in particular instances, replaces the need for open surgery. Benefits to patients include less pain, shorter recovery and no large incisions. Common procedures include angiography, kyphoplasty and vertebroplasty, TIPS (transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt), venous ablation, vein thrombolysis, central venous access, uterine fibroid embolization, aneurysm coiling, pain injections, and more.
- All magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) equipment, ultrasound, mammography and the PET/CT scanner are accredited by the American College of Radiology.
