Interventional Radiology (IR) or Vascular and Interventional Radiology (VIR) is an amalgamation of detection and simultaneous correction of the abnormalities inside the human body. The scope of imaging sciences is expanding much beyond the diagnostics and adding value to various image-guided treatments. Interventional radiologists make use of imaging modalities such as X-ray, CT, MRI and ultrasound for guidance and achieve better outcomes.
IR procedures are backed by image-guidance and minimally invasive technologies; thus are safer and better alternatives to conventional open surgeries. Interventional radiology offers corrective, outpatient-based procedures that usually do not need general anesthesia. Compared to open surgery, patients experience better outcomes in terms of lesser bleeding, infections and complications. Thus, interventional radiology offers faster recovery with minimal risk and pain.
Yashoda Institute of Interventional Radiology is equipped with state-of-the-art, high-resolution neuro and peripheral Angio suites, 3D rotational Angio and 3D CT supported by advanced software integration. These Angio suites are well equipped for advanced vascular interventions including complex intracranial procedures, gastrointestinal and aortic interventions.
Interventional radiologists are the doctors who specialize in minimally invasive, image-guided, targeted treatments. Image-guided interventional procedures are performed by a comprehensive medical care team with expertise in interventional radiology, vascular surgery, endoscopy, laparoscopy, and other minimally invasive techniques.
Interventional radiology focuses on all diseases irrespective of the affected area and thus covers major abnormalities of brain, nerves, spine, lungs, heart, blood vessels, liver and kidneys. Thus interventional radiology team collaborates with interventional cardiologists, neurologists, vascular surgeons, general surgeons, oncologists, gastroenterologists, nephrologists, urologists, and gynecologists, when necessary.
Yashoda Institute of Interventional Radiology provides comprehensive and extensive array of treatments including vascular and nonvascular interventions in the specialties of neurovascular, oncology, gastrointestinal, peripheral vascular disease and emergency bleeding
