Neurointerventionaland interventional radiology are cutting-edge fields of medicine that useminimally invasive procedures to diagnose and treat a wide range of medicalconditions. By utilizing advanced imaging technologies, these techniques allowspecialists to provide effective treatment with fewer risks and quickerrecovery times compared to traditional surgical methods.
Neurointerventional radiology, or interventional neuroradiology, is a specialised field within radiology that targets conditions of the brain, spine, and central nervous system (CNS) through minimally invasive procedures. Neurointerventional radiologists use advanced imaging—such as CT, MRI, and angiography—to precisely guide tiny catheters and instruments through blood vessels, often accessed through a small incision in the groin or wrist. This approach allows for targeted treatment of complex conditions like aneurysms, strokes, arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), spinal vascular malformations, and compression fractures.
Because these procedures are less invasive than open surgery, patients generally experience shorter recovery times and lower risks.
Neurointerventional radiology provides minimally invasive treatment options for several critical neurological and spinal conditions:
These targeted, image-guided treatments offer effective alternatives to traditional surgery with faster recovery times.
Interventionalradiology is a medical specialty that uses imagingmethods such as CT scans, ultrasound, MRI and angiography to perform minimallyinvasive procedures across different areas of the body. Interventionalradiologists rely on small incisions and precision tools to treat a range ofconditions, offering alternatives to open surgery that generally lead to fasterrecovery and fewer risks for patients. This approach enables targetedtreatments for vascular diseases, cancers, organ-specific conditions, andvarious other medical issues.
Vascular Interventions
Aortic Interventions:
Cancer Treatments and Interventions
Trauma Interventions:
Minimally Invasive: These procedures require only small incisions, resulting in less pain, reduced risk of infection, and shorter hospital stays compared to traditional surgery.
Quicker Recovery: Patients often experience faster recovery times, allowing them to return to their normal activities sooner.
Precision: Advanced imaging technologies provide real-time guidance, allowing for precise targeting of the affected area and minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue.
Lower Risk: The minimally invasive nature of these procedures reduces the overall risk of complications, making them an attractive option for patients who may not be suitable candidates for traditional surgery.
