A branch of radiology known as interventional radiology uses imaging to direct minimally invasive techniques inside the body for examination. Highly experienced radiologists execute the treatment, using imaging technology like ultrasounds, and CT scans to lead tiny instruments like catheters through the body to the affected spot.
The interventional radiology procedure will typically take place in an imaging suite or procedure room, where the patient will be positioned on an imaging table, and the radiologist will use imaging equipment to guide the instruments and perform the procedure.
Interventional Radiology procedures are performed using advanced imaging techniques like X-rays, CT scans, ultrasound, or MRI. The radiologist guides small instruments such as catheters or needles through tiny incisions, allowing for precise diagnosis and treatment.
Recovery time varies depending on the procedure. Most patients experience minimal downtime and can return to normal activities within a few days. Some procedures may require longer recovery times or follow-up care.
Depending on the procedure, you may need to follow specific instructions, such as fasting or adjusting medications. Your doctor will provide detailed instructions tailored to your procedure.
Interventional Radiology is minimally invasive and involves small incisions and the use of imaging for precise guidance. Traditional surgery often requires larger incisions and longer recovery times.
