Interventional Radiology Services

Interventional radiologists perform procedures using imaging guidance (magnetic resonance imaging [MRI], computed tomography [CT], ultrasound [US] and plain films ([x-rays]) and specialize in targeted treatments that are minimally invasive. SPR has several board certified radiologists that are fellowship trained in percutaneous, under the skin, interventions using guided imaging. Interventional procedures are typically performed in hospitals served, and often include advances in medicine that replace open surgical procedures. These types of procedures are generally easier for patients because they involve no large incisions, reduce risk, lessen pain and have shorter recovery times.

Interventional surgical procedures can involve both the vascular and non-vascular systems and may require follow-up clinical visits with the surgeon. The links to the right on this page provide further detail of common interventional radiology procedures.
