Interventional Radiology

Interventional Radiology (IR) is a medical specialty which utilizes the latest imaging technology and advanced minimally-invasive techniques to diagnose and treat a wide range of diseases in almost every part of the body.

By utilizing these minimally-invasive techniques, we are able to treat diseases that are traditionally managed surgically, with less pain and shorter recovery time. Image-guidance with X-ray, ultrasound, and CT ensures greater accuracy and safety in these treatments. Most procedures are performed in an outpatient setting with sedation and no overnight hospital stay.

Interventional Radiology has advanced rapidly over the years with new technology, techniques, and equipment that allows our board-certified professionals to provide cutting-edge care.
