Interventional Radiology
Interventional radiologists use minimally invasive, image-guided procedures to diagnose and/or treat conditions in almost every organ of the body. Using imaging techniques such as CT scans, ultrasound, MRI and fluoroscopy, interventional radiologists view images that are used to guide instruments through the area of the body that is being diagnosed or treated.
Treatment of many diseases such as cancer, narrowing of the blood vessels, kidney failure or spinal fractures is often performed using Interventional Radiology (IR). Since IR utilizes minimally invasive techniques, patients are less likely to suffer major trauma to body tissues and organs, and treatment and healing processes are faster. In most cases, patients can return home the same day of their procedure.
Common disorders treated by interventional radiologists include:
Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA)
Aneurysms
Bile duct obstruction
Cancer treatments. Bone, Breast, Kidney, Liver, Lung and Prostate
Carotid artery stenosis
Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)
Dialysis catheter placement
Infertility
Ischemia
Multiple Sclerosis
Pelvic congestion syndrome
Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD)
Portal hypertension
Pulmonary embolism
Renal artery stenosis
Renal failure
Stroke
Spinal fractures
Thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA)
Uterine fibroids
Specific procedures this team performs include:
Ablations: bone (osteoid osteoma), kidney, liver and lung
Arterial interventions
