Patients frequently ask about the safety of IR procedures, especially concerning the use of X-rays during imaging guidance. While these procedures do involve exposure to radiation, the doses are generally low and carefully controlled to minimize risk.
The benefits of accurate diagnosis and effective treatment outweigh the minimal risks. Recovery times vary but many patients resume normal activities quickly since procedures are minimally invasive. It’s common to experience mild bruising or soreness at the access site.
Patients are encouraged to follow post-procedure instructions and report any unusual pain, fever, or swelling promptly.
