Interventional radiology (IR) is a medical approach to diagnose and treat cancer without having to perform any major traditional surgeries. With Interventional radiology, doctors with specialised degrees use various diagnostic modalities like USG, CT or Fluroscopy to diagnose as well as treat pathologies of the human body.
Interventional radiologists (IRs) guide small instruments like catheters through the blood vessels to treat disease percutaneously. These medical procedures are less invasive compared to conventional surgeries.
Interventional radiology is one of latest frontiers in medical technology, using a pinhole sized incision to perform procedures involving every organ system of the body.
Interventional Radiology is particulary useful for patients who have multiple co-morbidities, are in frail health and are not amenable to surgery.
