Interventional Radiology

Interventional Radiology, on the other hand, involves the use of imaging guidance techniques for giving medical therapies to the patients. It involves the use of a special catheter, wires, and needle that are introduced inside the patient’s body and then guided towards the affected area with the help of the generated images. The technique is widely used for treating cancer patients and has shown commendable results. Some of the procedures offered include:
