Interventional Radiology
Washington 医院’s Interventional Radiology (IR) physicians offer
many options for the least invasive treatments available.
IR refers to a range of techniques which rely on the use of radiological
image guidance (X-ray fluoroscopy, ultrasound, computed tomography [CT]
or magnetic resonance imaging [MRI]) to precisely target therapy. 大多数
IR treatments are minimally invasive alternatives to open or laparoscopic
手术. Many conditions that once required 手术 can be treated less
invasively with IR procedures. Generally, this means fewer complications
and shorter recovery times compared to surgical options.
Interventional radiologists are board-certified physicians with additional
advanced training in a broad spectrum of minimally invasive procedures.
