Interventional Radiology

Interventional radiology is a medical sub-specialty of radiology utilizing minimally-invasive image-guided procedures to diagnose and treat diseases in nearly every organ system. The concept behind interventional radiology is to diagnose and treat patients using the least invasive techniques currently available in order to minimize risk to the patient and improve health outcomes. These procedures have less risk, less pain and less recovery time in comparison to open surgery.

Our Doctors

Interventional radiologists are board-certified physicians who specialize in minimally invasive, targeted treatments. We offer the most in-depth knowledge of the most minimally-invasive treatments available, coupled with diagnostic and clinical experience across all specialties. We use imaging such as CT, fluoroscopy, MRI, and ultrasound to guide treatment at the source of the disease non-surgically.
