Interventional radiology is a branch of radiology that uses imaging techniques such as X-ray, CT, MRI and ultrasound to treat a wide range of conditions through minimally invasive procedures. Using these imaging tools, interventional radiologists lead needles and thin tubes called catheters throughout the body to treat abdominal, chest, genitourinary, vascular and musculoskeletal health problems. By reducing the physical trauma of surgery, interventional radiology can reduce the chances of infection while shortening your recovery time. Other benefits include less pain, shorter hospital stays, and minimal to no scarring. Also, in many cases, general anesthesia is not required.
