Interventional Radiology

Interventional Radiology (IR) is a specialised branch of medicine that utilizes advanced medical imaging techniques to perform a wide range of minimally invasive procedures.  

Interventional Radiology performs both diagnostic and therapeutic procedures through very small incisions. Diagnostic interventional radiology (IR) procedures are performed to aid in diagnosis or guide further medical treatment. These procedures include image-guided tumour biopsies, angiograms—where a contrast dye is injected into blood vessels to assess circulation—and cholangiograms, which involve injecting contrast into the bile ducts to identify blockages within the liver.
