Interventional Radiology

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.

Imaging for Vascular Malformations

Overview

Imaging characterizes vascular malformations by flow dynamics extent and tissue involvement. Modalities include ultrasound CT MR and angiography. Imaging guides interventional and surgical planning.

Ultrasound and Doppler

Ultrasound assesses flow patterns and lesion compressibility in superficial malformations. Doppler helps distinguish high flow from low flow lesions. It is useful for initial evaluation and follow up.

Cross Sectional Imaging

CT and MRI delineate lesion extent relation to adjacent structures and deep components. MR angiography provides non invasive vascular mapping. Imaging supports multidisciplinary treatment planning.

Interventional Imaging

Angiography defines feeding vessels and guides embolization strategies. Image guidance optimizes safety and efficacy of interventions. Long term imaging follow up monitors recurrence and treatment response.
