Interventional Radiology is a medical sub-specialty that uses image-guided, minimally invasive diagnostic and treatment techniques often as an alternative to surgery. Interventional radiologists are highly trained in imaging, radiation safety and the performance of medical procedures.
Interventional radiologists treat diseases non-surgically, often using small catheters or other devices and tools guided by radiologic imaging. Procedures performed by these specially trained doctors can be less costly and less traumatic to the patient, involving smaller incisions, less pain, and shorter hospital stays.
