What is an Interventional Radiologist?
An Interventional Radiologist is a medical specialist who uses medical imaging to perform minimally invasive procedures. By utilising imaging techniques such as X-rays, ultrasound and CT, Interventional Radiologists can diagnose and treat various health conditions effectively.
Common procedures conducted by these specialists include angiography, the placement of lines or tubes, stents, tumour ablation, and embolisation of blood vessels.
Interventional Radiologists often work in a collaborative team with other specialists.
This approach can result in faster recovery times and reduced risks compared to traditional surgical methods.
Interventional radiologists undergo extensive training to perform these procedures and interpret imaging results accurately.
