Interventional Radiology, (IR or VIR for Vascular and
Intervention Radiology) is also known as Image-Guided
Surgery or Procedural Radiology.
Interventional Radiologists are medical doctors who
specialize in doing medical procedures that use radiology.
Interventional Radiology allows us to diagnose or treat
patients with the most minimally invasive technique
possible. Images are used to guide small instruments,
including needles and catheters. The images provide
road maps that allow the Interventional Radiologist to
guide these instruments through the body to the areas
of concern.
Advantages of IR to Patients
These procedures are generally less invasive and less •
costly than surgery.
With image guidance, any abnormality can be accessed •
while important nearby structures such as blood vessels
and vital organs can be seen and avoided.
The patient is spared the pain, scarring and complications •
associated with open surgery.
Recovery times are usually shorter and patients can more •
quickly resume normal activities.
General anesthesia rarely required.•
