In interventional radiology (commonly known as IR), clinicians employ diagnostic imaging to guide minimally invasive surgeries that diagnose, treat, and cure a wide range of illnesses. Fluoroscopy, MRI, CT, and ultrasound are some of the imaging modalities employed.

At Suvidha Hospitals, interventional radiologists utilise needles and catheters to treat diseases within your body through tiny incisions in your abdomen. Medical pictures are used to direct the catheters across your blood veins, arteries, and organs.

Patients who would otherwise require standard open surgery benefit from interventional radiology since it decreases expense, recovery time, discomfort, and danger. As a result, IR has become the predominant method for treating a wide range of disorders. The therapies that IR can efficiently conduct are always developing and expanding.

Some examples of IR procedures are:

• Angioplasty
• Radiofrequency ablation
• Stenting
• Biopsies
• Embolization
• Thrombolysis
