Description

Interventional Radiology Percutaneous Vertebroplasty Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) Lung Cancer Screening Cardiac Scoring Vascular Ultrasound Central Venous Access Placement PET/CT Imaging Exam Preparations Interventional Radiology (IR) is a medical specialty that uses radiologic images to guide thin tubes (catheters) and other tiny instruments through blood vessels and other pathways of the body to treat a wide variety of conditions that once required surgery. IR procedures are performed by Interventional Radiologists who are physicians that have many additional years of special training after medical school. These physicians undergo extensive training in techniques that treat diseases percutaneously (through the skin) and other imaging techniques that see inside the body without surgery. The interventional radiologists at Reno Radiological Associates are all board certified and hold a certificate of added qualification in Vascular and Interventional Radiology. The advantage of IR is that risk, pain and recovery time are significantly reduced in many cases. Many procedures are performed on an outpatient basis, meaning no overnight stay in a hospital. General anesthesia usually is not required and procedures are often less expensive than the surgical alternative. ( TOP )
