What is Interventional Radiology?
Interventional Radiology (IR) is a medical specialty that provides minimally invasive diagnosis and treatment of diseases in the human body. IR physicians use X-ray, CT, MRI and ultrasound to guide tiny catheters and other tiny devices through the body to diagnose and treat conditions such as cancer, peripheral vascular disease, enlarged prostates uterine fibroids, and stroke.
Interventional Radiology has these advantages:
- Rapid recovery
- Fewer side effects
- Less complications
- Less pain & risk
- Go home the same day with a band-aid
