Interventional Radiology
Interventional radiologists work with other specialists to determine the best treatment for each patient. Interventional radiologists use minimally-invasive techniques to diagnose, manage and treat many types of medical conditions including cancer, women's health issues, vascular disease.
Interventional radiology offers an alternative to the surgical treatment of many conditions and can eliminate the need for hospitalization, in some cases.
