Interventional radiology describes medical therapies that combine imaging (so doctors can visualize what they are doing) with procedures to diagnose and treat a broad range of conditions.
At Carilion Clinic, we perform interventional radiology procedures such as:
-
Arteriograms, imaging tests that combine X-rays and contrast materials to detect problems in your arteries.
-
Neuro-interventional procedures, which use imaging guidance and minimally invasive techniques to treat stroke and other neurological disorders.
-
Diagnostic and interventional angiography and venography, to track blood flow through arteries and veins.
-
Gastrointestinal procedures, such as drainage.
-
Pulmonary angiography, to see how well blood flows through the lungs.
-
Stent placement, including iliac, aortic, peripheral, and renal arteriograms and angiographs.
-
Thrombolysis, to break down dangerous blood clots.
-
Tumor, organ, and bone biopsies.
-
Vertebroplasty, a procedure to decrease or eliminate pain in people who have compression fractures of the spine.
-
Multiple venous access, which facilitates dialysis.
-
Myelograms, to detect possible problems in the spinal cord.
-
Lumbar punctures, to collect spinal fluid for evaluation.
-
Epidural steroid injections and multiple joint injections.
