Interventional radiologists diagnose and treat disease. They treat a wide range of conditions in the body by inserting various small tools, such as catheters or wires from outside the body.
In interventional radiology we use X-rays to guide us with minimally invasive procedures. We use wires and catheters to help us either unblock arteries or to block off (embolise) areas that are internally bleeding. We also carry out regular tube changes for nephrostomies and feeding tubes.
interventional radiologist uses CT or ultrasound to pass an introducer needle into the tissue of interest. Once position is confirmed, a biopsy needle is passed through the introducer needle and used to take samples until adequate tissue is obtained.
Diagnostic radiology diagnoses diseases and injuries using imaging technologies, while interventional radiology involves performing procedures such as biopsies, catheterizations, and angiograms to diagnose and treat conditions.
