What is Interventional Radiology?
Interventional radiology (IR) is a medical specialty that uses real-time imaging guidance (such as X-ray, CT scan, and ultrasound) to diagnose and treat various conditions in a minimally invasive manner. This approach allows physicians to perform complex procedures using catheters, guidewires, and specialized instruments, often eliminating the need for traditional surgery. In many cases, interventional radiology reduces hospital stays and speeds up patient recovery.
Our Specialized Procedures
Our interventional radiologists perform a broad spectrum of minimally invasive procedures, including:
✅ Angiography: X-ray imaging of blood vessels to detect blockages, narrowing, or abnormalities ✅ Angioplasty & Stenting: Widening narrowed arteries using balloons and stents ✅ Embolization Therapy: Blocking abnormal blood vessels to control bleeding or treat vascular conditions ✅ Image-Guided Biopsies: Precise tissue sampling from liver, kidney, prostate, and other organs for accurate diagnosis ✅ Inferior Vena Cava (IVC) Filter Placement: Preventing blood clots from reaching the lungs ✅ Catheter Insertion: Establishing venous access for chemotherapy, nutrition, dialysis, or bone marrow transplant preparation ✅ Minimally Invasive Cancer Therapies: Delivering targeted cancer treatment directly to tumors and tumor ablation
The Future of Minimally Invasive Medicine
Interventional radiology is one of the fastest-evolving fields in modern medicine, offering state-of-the-art image-guided techniques to perform complex treatments without major surgery. These innovative methods significantly reduce patient risks, minimize recovery times, and lower healthcare costs.
Conditions Treated with Interventional Radiology: 🔹 Acute and chronic deep vein thrombosis (DVT) 🔹 Cancer treatment (liver, kidney, lung, and bone tumors) 🔹 Lymphatic system disorders 🔹 Hemodialysis access complications 🔹 Women’s health conditions (e.g., uterine fibroids, pelvic congestion syndrome)
Why Choose Interventional Radiology?
✔ Minimally invasive alternatives to traditional surgery ✔ Faster recovery and reduced hospitalization ✔ Lower risks and fewer complications ✔ More cost-effective than conventional surgical procedures
At Mehr General Hospital’s Interventional Radiology Department, we are dedicated to delivering high-quality, advanced medical care using the latest technology and a highly specialized team to ensure the best possible outcomes for our patients.
