Interventional radiology is a field that allows diagnosis and treatment of diseases using minimally invasive techniques. Specialist radiologists use advanced imaging tools such as X-rays, CT scans, and ultrasound to guide small instruments such as catheters and wires into the body. This approach allows for a wide variety of treatments without the need for conventional surgery. One of the other benefits of this methond is that it considerably shortens the length of hospital stay
Interventional Radiology (IR) is a medical specialty that involves the use of minimally invasive procedures and advanced imaging techniques to diagnose and treat a wide range of medical conditions. Interventional radiologists are medical doctors who have undergone specialized training in both radiology and interventional techniques.
In traditional radiology, medical imaging technologies like X-rays, CT scans, MRIs, and ultrasounds are primarily used for diagnostic purposes, allowing doctors to visualize the internal structures of the body. However, interventional radiology goes a step further by using these imaging modalities to guide and perform therapeutic procedures without the need for traditional open surgery.
Interventional radiology procedures are often performed using thin, flexible catheters and small instruments that can be inserted into the body through tiny incisions or natural body openings. These minimally invasive procedures offer several benefits, including:
Reduced risk: Compared to open surgery, interventional procedures typically involve smaller incisions, which can lead to less bleeding, lower infection rates, and faster recovery times.
Local anesthesia: Many interventional procedures can be performed under local anesthesia, reducing the need for general anesthesia and its associated risks.
Shorter hospital stays: Since interventional procedures are less invasive, patients often experience shorter hospital stays, allowing them to return to their normal activities sooner.
Targeted treatments: Interventional radiology allows for precise and targeted treatments, minimizing damage to healthy surrounding tissues.
