Interventional Radiology

What is interventional radiology?

Using advanced imaging techniques like X-rays, CT scans and ultrasounds, our interventional radiology team can diagnose and treat a range of medical conditions and perform minimally invasive and non-invasive procedures with precision accuracy, including complex microscopic vascular procedures and heart surgeries performed through keyhole-sized incisions, tumor and cancer biopsies and more.

Are there benefits to interventional radiology?

Interventional radiology treatments and procedures are generally less invasive, carry fewer risks and require less recovery and downtime than traditional surgery.

With smaller incisions and better imaging, patients recover faster, experience less pain, and return to their lives sooner.

Some common procedures that use interventional radiology include:

  • Angioplasty
  • Stent placement
  • Embolization
  • Biopsies
  • Tumor ablation
  • Drainage procedures
  • Vascular conditions (deep vein thrombosis)
  • A range of non- and minimally invasive surgeries

Image-guided procedures. Pinhole precision. Stronger recoveries.
