Many conditions and injuries that once required open surgery can now be treated with minimally invasive procedures which can result in less pain and a faster recovery for you. The interventional radiology physicians of Medical Center Radiologists combine advanced technologies with minimally invasive imaging to diagnose and treat a wide spectrum of conditions. The doctors often use just a small needle or catheter to perform the entire procedure.
Interventional radiology encompases diagnostic and treatment procedures performed using image-guided technology to enable doctors to see inside your body during procedures. Some of the imaging techniques we use include ultrasound, X-ray and CT and MRI scans.
