Interventional Radiology

The Interventional Radiology service is situated in the Angiography Suite in the Radiology Department at Nobles Hospital.

Interventional Radiology (abbreviated IR) is an area of radiology where minimally invasive image-guided procedures are used to diagnose and treat disease in nearly every body part. This reduces risk and improves patient outcomes.

Interventional radiologists use x-rays, CT and ultrasound to guide instruments through the body. Procedures are performed through thin tubes and do not require surgery.

We perform procedures to stop bleeding via embolization, pain management by radiofrequency ablation, dialysis access, correcting biliary and urological obstruction and the treatment of vascular disease.
