Interventional Radiology

Overview

Interventional Radiology at Ingalls
21st-Century Medicine
Interventional radiology is a medical field that combines the use of tiny specialized instruments with equipment that produces detailed images of the body. This combination enables doctors to perform a wide variety of minimally invasive, image-guided procedures for medical conditions that once would have required open surgery. For patients, that means less risk, less pain and a faster recovery.

At Ingalls, the Interventional Radiology Department provides a level of care that rivals that of any academic medical center. Four board-certified, full-time interventional radiologists specialize in a wide range of interventional techniques, including the most advanced procedures to treat cancer, aneurysms, uterine fibroids, gastrointestinal problems, varicose veins, compression fractures of the vertebrae and many other conditions. What’s more, a newly renovated Interventional Radiology Suite includes two fully equipped, state-of-the-art digital procedure rooms with dedicated ultrasound and the latest CT (computed tomography) equipment, providing the most precise image guidance available anywhere.
