From routine procedures to complex diagnostic indications requiring the expertise of multiple specialists, healthcare providers depend on our interventional radiologist’s training and expertise in the diagnosis, management and treatment of diseases and medical conditions. Radiology Alliance offers a variety of interventional procedures, including diagnostic and interventional neuroradiology and interventional oncologic procedures.
Interventional Radiology is a subspecialty of radiology focused on the use of diagnostic imaging technology and minimally invasive procedures to diagnose and treat vascular and nonvascular diseases. Many medical conditions – including inoperable cancers, peripheral arterial disease, spinal fractures and uterine fibroids – that once required surgical procedures are now treated non-surgically by an interventional radiologist.
By utilizing powerful imaging modalities including CT, MRI, MRA, ultrasound and x-ray to guide targeted treatments, these procedures generally do not require large surgical incisions or general anesthesia, resulting in less risk, reduced pain and shorter recovery times for patients. Most procedures can be performed on an outpatient basis or require only a short hospital stay.
X-ray exam of the arteries and veins to diagnose blockages and other blood vessel problems
Opens blocked or narrowed blood vessels by inserting a very small balloon into the vessel and inflating
A stent to open up blocked ducts and allow bile to drain from the liver
Insertion of a tube to allow patients to receive medication or nutrients directly into the blood stream or so blood can be drawn
Delivery of cancer-fighting agents directly to the site of a tumor
Delivery of clotting agents directly to an area that is bleeding or to block blood flow to an aneurysm or a fibroid tumor in the uterus
A treatment for infertility that uses a catheter to open blocked fallopian tubes without surgery
Insertion of a feeding tube in the stomach for patients who are unable to take sufficient food by mouth
Use of angioplasty or thrombolysis to open blocked grafts for hemodialysis
Diagnostic test for breast, lung and other cancers as an alternative to surgical biopsy
Use of radioactive microspheres to irradiate liver tumors
Use of radio frequency energy to kill cancerous tumors
A small flexible tube used to treat a variety of medical conditions
Reinforces a ruptured or ballooning section of an artery (an aneurysm) with a fabric-wrapped stent
Dissolves blood clots by injecting clot-busting drugs at the site of the clot
A procedure to improve blood flow and prevent hemorrhage
A procedure of uterine arteries to stop life-threatening postpartum bleeding, potentially preventing hysterectomy; procedure also used to treat fibroid tumors
A procedure of uterine arteries to shrink painful, enlarged, benign tumors in the uterus
Procedures to help relieve pain resulting from compression fractures in the vertebrae of the spine; bone cement is injected into the fractured vertebrae
