Frequently Asked Questions

Interventional radiology (IR) uses imaging techniques like X-ray, CT, and ultrasound to perform minimally invasive procedures for conditions like blood clots, tumors, and vascular diseases.

Common IR procedures include angioplasty, embolization, biopsy, catheter placement, and tumor ablation, often serving as alternatives to traditional surgery.

Most IR procedures are performed with local anesthesia or sedation, resulting in minimal discomfort and quicker recovery times compared to open surgery.

Recovery varies by procedure but is typically shorter than traditional surgery, with many patients resuming normal activities within a few days.

Patients with vascular conditions, certain cancers, chronic pain, or organ disorders may benefit from interventional radiology as a less invasive treatment option.
