Interventional radiologists are board-certified physicians who specialize in minimally invasive, targeted treatments. They offer the most in-depth knowledge of the least invasive treatments available coupled with diagnostic and clinical experience across all specialities. They use X-rays, MRI and other imaging to advance a catheter in the body, usually in an artery, to treat at the source of the disease internally. As the inventors of angioplasty and the catheter-delivered stent, which were first used in the legs to treat peripheral arterial disease, interventional radiologists pioneered minimally invasive modern medicine.
Today many conditions that once required surgery can be treated less invasively by interventional radiologists. Interventional radiology treatments offer less risk, less pain and less recovery time compared to open surgery.
Radiology is developing and deploying a unique and novel combination of imaging, therapeutic and navigation technologies which together make up the Multimodality Interventional Radiology.
Interventional Radiology (I.R) is at the cutting edge of modern medicine and has brought significant improvements in inpatient care. IR procedures are more convenient for patients as they are done mostly outpatient basis with small incisions (Minimally Invasive) causing less pain, less scarring and less disfigurement and with shorter recovery time.
We request you to include Interventional Radiology in your regular protocol and refer the suitable patients. We promise we will take utmost care of your patients and deliver the positive results.
We can work together for the benefit of the patient to deliver the best results possible.
