Interventional Radiology: More Than Just Imaging

For many medical conditions, open surgery used to be the intervention of choice for most doctors. Now, thanks to advances in technology, interventional radiology offers a less invasive alternative that leads to less pain, fewer complications and faster recovery.

To find out whether interventional radiology is right for you, call now to schedule an appointment with one of our board certified interventional radiologists.

A Less Invasive Alternative to Open Surgery

For many common conditions, interventional radiology is an excellent candidate for delivering effective treatment quickly, and with better quality of life outcomes for patients compared with open surgery.

For example, instead of full anesthesia, most interventional radiology procedures use local anesthesia and mild sedation. Patients usually get relief from symptoms quickly and return to daily activities faster than with surgery.

Interventional radiology is often used to treat diseases and conditions throughout the body, including:

Heart and vascular conditions
Cancer
Gastrointestinal conditions
Urologic disorders
Male and female health conditions

How Interventional Radiology Can Help

Specialists called interventional radiologists use imaging techniques such as X-ray, computed tomography or ultrasound, to guide tiny instruments into your body. When they reach the area that needs treatment, doctors can take biopsies, place stents, or deliver medication or treatment exactly where you need it.

Many interventional radiology procedures involve using the vascular system – the blood vessels in your body – to reach almost any organ. Image-guided procedures can open blockages, stop blood flow, reduce tumor size, and dissolve or remove blood clots throughout the body.

The team at Goshen Health may recommend Interventional radiology for the following treatments and procedures:

Embolization to control blood flow

By introducing microspheres into specific blood vessels, our team blocks blood flow to targeted areas of the body. Depending on the application, this procedure can help shrink liver tumors, uterine fibroids, enlarged prostates, and hemorrhoids.

Circulation disorder treatment

Interventional radiology is a prime candidate for treating blockages in the heart or damage in blood vessels, without major surgery. Procedures include angioplasty, stent placement, treatment for deep vein thrombosis, and more.

Nonvascular procedures

Outside of procedures involving the circulatory system, interventional radiology is useful for image-guided biopsies, removal of excess fluid or air from the lungs or abdomen, central nervous system diagnosis, and targeted pain management injections.
