Interventional radiologists are physicians who are specially trained to diagnose and treat conditions using miniaturized tools, while guiding their progress on x-ray or other imaging equipment. Training in interventional radiology is rigorous, requiring a minimum of 6 years after completion of medical school.
Typically, the interventional radiologist performs procedures through a very small nick in the skin, about the size of a pencil tip. Interventional radiology treatments are generally easier for the patient than surgery because they involve no surgical incisions, less risk, less pain and shorter hospital stays. Your interventional radiologist will work closely with your primary care physician or gynecologist to be sure you receive the best possible care.
