What is Interventional Radiology?

As pioneers of minimally invasive surgery, we use our techniques to eliminate the need for open surgery and allow shorter recovery times. This department is a renowned centre for highly complex interventional work. Our procedures cover the full scope of body and neuro interventions. Our team is committed to provide patients with the latest innovative treatments using minimally invasive procedures.

What is Interventional Radiology?

Interventional Radiology is considered to be the most advanced discipline in Radiology. It treats an ever-widening range of conditions inside the body by inserting various small instruments or tools, such as thin tubes (catheters) or wires, with the use of various imaging techniques. Interventional Radiology is simply an alternative to surgical treatment of many conditions and can eliminate the need for hospitalisation.

We diagnose and treat you using the least invasive way possible so that you have lower risk and less physical stress than surgery.

What is the difference between Interventional and Diagnostic Radiology?

In Diagnostic Radiology, we use the images to diagnose the patients. However, in Interventional Radiology, images are used to direct the doctor to not only diagnose the patient but also perform an innovative treatment technique.

Why choose Interventional Radiology and not surgery?

• Interventional Radiology saves time, it is performed in an hour or slightly more
• No need for hospitalization or full body anesthesia
• More safe and effective than a surgery
• Less needed time to recover and get back to the everyday activities
