Interventional radiology offers patients alternatives to traditional surgery through image-guided, minimally invasive techniques. This means smaller incisions, less pain, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery.
Conditions commonly treated include blood vessel blockages (angioplasty), tumor treatment (embolization or ablation), and vascular access for therapies. Patients often ask about the difference between IR and surgery—IR procedures typically have less risk and offer quicker return to daily life.
Discussing questions with your provider can help you choose the best treatment plan suited to your health needs.
