is a medical specialty that uses minimally invasive techniques to diagnose and treat various conditions, often as an alternative to traditional surgery.
Interventional radiology (IR)
It involves the use of medical imaging (like X-rays, CT scans, ultrasound, or MRI) to guide tiny instruments, such as catheters, wires, or needles, to targeted areas in the body.

ASPECTS OF INTERVENTIONAL RADIOLOGY INCLUDE:
- Minimally Invasive
- Imaging Guidance
- Treating a Wide Range of Conditions
- Non-Surgical Alternative
Procedures typically require only small incisions or no incision at all, which leads to faster recovery, reduced risk of infection, and less pain compared to traditional surgery.
Minimally Invasive
Minimally Invasive:
- Small incision or puncture - small needle to access
- Catheter based procedure - thin catheter in blood vessels
- Targeted treatment - kung nasa ayos na ang treatment
IR procedures are guided by real-time imaging, which allows for highly precise targeting, increasing the safety and effectiveness of the treatment.
Imaging Guidance
Imaging Guidance:
- Fluoroscopy - real time (usually used)
Ultrasound - biopsy, drain fluid (thoracentesis, paracentesis)
CT Scan - planning, guidance in complex procedure
MRI - less complication in IR, guidance for alteration, involvement of soft tissue
Treating a Wide Range of Conditions: Interventional radiologists can treat conditions affecting many organ systems. Common treatments include:
- Angioplasty and stenting for blocked blood vessels
- Embolization to block abnormal blood vessels or stop bleeding (e.g., for tumors, aneurysms, or gastrointestinal bleeding)
- Biopsy to obtain tissue samples for diagnosis
- Drainage of abscesses or fluid collections
- Tumor ablation (like radiofrequency or cryoablation) to treat cancer

Many conditions that once required open surgery can now be treated through IR techniques, offering patients less downtime and fewer complications.
Non-Surgical Alternative
BENEFITS OF INTERVENTIONAL RADIOLOGY
- Minimally invasive
- Reduce risks for lower risk of infection, bleed, any other complication
- Faster recovery vs with the traditional surgery
- Targeted therapy - precise delivery and reduce damage of tissue
- Outpatient procedure
Interventional radiologists often collaborate with other specialists, such as WHAT, to develop treatment plans tailored to the patient’s specific needs.
such as oncologists, cardiologists, or vascular surgeons
WHAT KIND OF THINGS CAN BE DONE IN IR?
- Treatment of vascular problems
- Angiogram/Angioplasty
- Biopsies
- Drainage of fluid collections
- Embolization (blockage) of arteries
- Stop the bleeding or treat tumors
- Treatment of infertility
- Insertion of feeding tube
THESE PROCEDURE CAN REPLACE CERTAIN SURGERIES:
- Faster recovery than with surgery
- Usually, no hospital admission required
- Local anesthesia used instead of general anesthesia
- Safe and effective
is a widely used medical procedure for gaining access to blood vessels or other body cavities, primarily for diagnostic and interventional procedures in fields like interventional radiology, cardiology, and vascular surgery.
Seldinger technique
It allows physicians to safely and accurately introduce catheters, wires, and other instruments into the body with minimal invasiveness.
