Interventional Radiology

Interventional radiologists use imaging to guide small instruments through tiny incisions or blood vessels during minimally invasive procedures that can diagnose and treat certain conditions.

  • Certain cancers and tumors, including liver tumors
  • Abscesses and fluid buildup in the chest or stomach
  • Bile duct blockages or narrowing
  • Kidney and urinary drainage problems

Treatments We Offer

  • Aneurysm coiling or embolization
  • Angiography, such as cerebral angiography, to examine blood vessels
  • Angioplasty, stenting or catheter-directed clot treatment to improve blood flow
  • Image-guided biopsy to collect tissue samples
  • Mechanical thrombectomy to remove clots that cause certain strokes
  • Nephrostomy tube placement to drain urine from kidneys
  • Tumor treatments, such as ablation and chemoembolization
  • Uterine fibroid embolization
