Many conditions that once required surgery can now be treated non-surgically by an Interventional Radiologist, a physician who sub-specializes in minimally invasive procedures using x-ray, ultrasound, MRI and CT Scans.
The most common procedures performed include angiograms with angioplasty and stenting, uterine fibroid embolization (UFE), varicose vein ablation, chemoembolization and radiofrequency ablation.
When compared to open surgery, the minimally invasive procedures offered by Interventional Radiology have less risk, less pain and less recovery time.
