What is interventional radiology?
Discover why patients are choosing the Advantage IR solution.
Interventional Radiology (IR) refers to the use of radiological image guidance to precisely target and treat a range of medical problems and diseases. Most IR treatments are minimally invasive alternatives to open surgery and even laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery. Because many IR procedures start with passing a needle through the skin to the target, it's often called "pinhole surgery."

The Advantage of Interventional Radiology
The advantages of these minimally invasive techniques include reduced risks, faster recover, greater comfort, and a quicker return to work. The effectiveness of treatment is often better than with traditional treatments. IR is particularly relevant for patients who are in frail health or who have already undergone numerous surgeries.
Over 50 years of IR innovation
While IR physicians are able to treat medical problems using breakthrough techniques that sound futuristic, interventional radiology is not a new area of medicine. In the 1960s, interventional radiologists pioneered minimally invasive treatment. Over the years, the techniques have evolved so that image-guided therapies can solve the toughest medical problems with less risk and minimal pain for patients. That's why interventional radiology has become one of the most rapidly expanding areas in medicine.
