Interventional Radiology (IR) is a medical specialty that uses image-guided procedures to diagnose and treat diseases and conditions throughout the body. The IR department is a specialized unit in a hospital that performs minimally invasive procedures using imaging techniques such as X-ray, CT, MRI, and ultrasound to guide the procedures. The department is staffed by highly trained radiologists and technologists skilled in performing a wide range of procedures.
Interventional radiologists are specially trained physicians who perform these procedures. They use a range of techniques to access and treat specific areas of the body through small incisions or punctures, minimizing the need for traditional open surgery. The procedures are typically performed under local anesthesia or conscious sedation, reducing the risks and recovery time associated with major surgery.
