Interventional radiology (IR) 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 (IR) 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.
Interventional radiology (IR) is one of the biggest advances in medical practice,
offering treatments with less risk, less pain, less recovery time and ultimately less
hospital stay in comparison to open surgery.
Through a tiny incision ( size of a pinhole) in your skin, interventional radiologists
deliver precise, targeted treatment to complex and sometimes life-threatening
diseases and conditions. IR treatments are a well-accepted choice for conditions
such as stroke, cancer, uterine fibroids, varicose veins, angioembolisation for
bleeding and many other common and serious medical issues
