FAQs
What is interventional radiology?
Interventional radiology (IR) is a specialty where doctors use real-time medical imaging to guide instruments like catheters or needles for diagnosis and treatment—avoiding large surgical incisions.
What are the benefits of interventional radiology procedures?
IR procedures involve less pain, minimal blood loss, shorter hospital stays, and quicker recovery compared to traditional surgeries.
What conditions can be treated using interventional radiology?
Interventional radiology can treat blocked arteries, uterine fibroids, varicose veins, liver and kidney disorders, tumours, internal bleeding, and several other complex conditions.
Is anaesthesia required for these procedures?
Most IR procedures require only local anaesthesia or mild sedation, ensuring patient comfort and faster post-procedure recovery.
How safe are these procedures?
When performed by trained specialists, IR procedures are highly safe. Continuous imaging guidance ensures precision, reduces risks, and enhances treatment accuracy.
