Interventional Radiology Biopsy

Interventional Radiology relies on advanced medical imaging technology to see inside the body and treat conditions that once required surgery. Using ultrasound, X-rays, CAT scans, MRI scans and other imaging methods, interventional radiologists can treat complex conditions with this minimally invasive method that reduces risk and gets patients back on their feet sooner.

IR procedures usually begin with identification of the pathway with imaging guidance. After imaging localization, depending on the procedure, a small needle or catheter could be used to perform the procedure. Most procedures require a short observation period after completion but are minimally invasive and designed as same-day procedures. Advanced imaging technology allows them to find the safest path through the body and effectively treat each unique problem. IR’s innovative method is less painful than other treatments and often produces better results with shorter recovery times.
