Overview
Interventional radiology uses imaging to guide minimally invasive procedures. It treats vascular and non vascular conditions. It reduces recovery time compared to open surgery.
Procedures
Common procedures include embolization angioplasty and ablation. These techniques manage bleeding tumors and vascular disease. They are performed under imaging guidance for precision.
Imaging Guidance
Fluoroscopy CT and ultrasound guide interventions. Real time imaging improves safety and outcomes. Multimodality imaging supports complex procedures.
Patient Selection
Careful patient selection and multidisciplinary planning are key. Risk assessment and informed consent are required. Follow up imaging monitors treatment success.
