Interventional radiology is a field of minimally invasive treatments guided by imaging such as ultrasound, CT, X-ray, magnetic resonance and other advanced imaging methods. The interventional radiologist is a doctor who has specialized in diagnostic radiology in addition to a sub specialization in interventional radiology (angiography).

As the forefront of the various medical professions, this field offers innovative solutions for a wide range of medical conditions.

Most of the  procedures are performed by a tiny piercing of the skin (a few mm) with only local anesthesia. In many cases, interventional radiology can prevent  surgery, reduce recovery time, and even bring about creative solutions that may improve the patient's longevity and quality of life.
