IR procedures

Interventional radiology (IR) is a radiological subdiscipline providing minimally invasive treatments performed under image guidance. As technology advances and high-quality imaging equipment becomes more widely available, IR is able to offer patients and referral physicians a growing number of new treatment options. Please select from the list below for more information on the various procedures.
