What is interventional radiology and when is it necessary?
Interventional radiology (IR) is a medical specialty which uses an innovative integration of clinical and imaging-based diagnosis along with minimally-invasive therapy. These procedures generally have less risk, less pain and shorter recovery time compared to open surgery.

Endovascualr and interventional consultants are physicians who specialize in minimally-invasive, targeted treatments performed using x-rays, ultrasound, MRI and other diagnostic imaging to guide tiny instruments (such as catheters) through blood vessels or through the skin directly to the site of a problem, treating a variety of medical disorders without surgery.
