What is Interventional Radiology?
Interventional radiologists use image guidance that makes many other procedures possible using pin-hole techniques, including; vertebroplasty, gastrostomy (radiologically inserted gastrostomy), image guided biopsy, portal vein embolisation, nephrostomy, PICC line insertion, treatment of vascular malformations, and many more procedures.
Interventional radiology procedures allow patients to have a rapid recovery, shorter hospital stays and lower complication rates.
Why Interventional Radiology?
Interventional Radiology is an exciting and rapidly developing specialty using image guidance to perform treatment with ‘pin-hole’ access through the skin, for a growing number of conditions. Interventional radiology procedures allow patients to have a rapid recovery, shorter hospital stays and lower complication rates.
