Interventional Radiology

What is Interventional Radiology?

Interventional Radiology (IR) is a medical subspecialty that uses real-time imaging—such as ultrasound, CT, and fluoroscopy—to guide precise procedures inside the body. These image-guided interventions often eliminate the need for open surgery and are associated with reduced pain, faster recovery, and minimal scarring. Common interventional radiology techniques include:

• CT- or ultrasound-guided biopsies
• Vascular access and angioplasty
• Tumor embolization and ablation
• Abscess drainage
• Catheter and stent placements
• Uterine fibroid embolization
• Liver, kidney, and biliary interventions

Conditions Treated by Interventional Radiology

Interventional radiology is used in both diagnosis and treatment across a broad range of conditions, including:

• Liver tumors, kidney tumors, and lung nodules
• Uterine fibroids and pelvic congestion syndrome
• Peripheral artery disease (PAD)
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
• Biliary obstruction and hydronephrosis
• Abscesses and fluid collections
• Vascular malformations
• Cancer-related pain and bleeding control

By offering real-time precision and targeted treatment, IR enhances care in both emergency and elective scenarios.
