What is IR – Interventional Radiology?
Interventional Radiology (IR) is a specialized field of medicine that uses advanced imaging techniques to perform minimally invasive procedures. These methods allow doctors to diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions with greater precision, reduced risk, and faster recovery compared to traditional surgery.
IR plays a vital role in treating conditions affecting the vascular, gastrointestinal, central nervous, and other systems. It is especially beneficial for patients seeking less invasive options and looking to avoid surgeries. Interventional radiologists often work closely with other specialists to provide comprehensive, patient-focused care.
