Interventional radiology

Interventional radiology, also called “IR”, is a medical
sub-specialty that includes minimally invasive procedures using advanced
imaging methods such as computed tomography, magnetic resonance, x-ray
fluoroscopy and ultrasound. Specialists working in the field of
interventional radiology carefully interpret these images to detect damage to
the patient’s body; It provides treatment with the help of medical
materials such as needles and catheters through minimal incisions.

He also performs a wide variety of procedures in the
field of interventional radiology, such as taking organ biopsies or placing a
stent. With the help of the imaging tools mentioned above, it is possible
to concentrate on the body part where the treatment will be performed and to complete
the procedures that require precision. In this respect, interventional
radiology reduces the need for laparoscopic applications as well as surgical methods.

Interventional radiology offers many different treatment
options, from drug therapy to surgery. However, IR, in which minimally
invasive techniques are used, provides less risk, low cost and high comfort as
well as shortening the duration of hospital stay and recovery. For this
reason, it is possible to say that it is much more advantageous compared to traditional
treatments.

The interventional radiology unit, consisting of medical
professionals trained in radiology and interventional treatment, provides 24/7
diagnosis, treatment and observation services.
