What is Interventional Radiology?
Interventional Radiology (IR) is a modern medical specialty that uses minimally invasive, image-guided techniques—such as X-rays, CT scans, ultrasound, or MRI—to diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions that once required open surgery.
Instead of large cuts or long recoveries, IR procedures are usually performed through a pinhole-sized entry, often as a day procedure.
