Interventional Radiology
Interventional Radiology
Interventional radiology tests and treatments are done by interventional radiologists. These doctors are specially trained in anatomy and image guidance.They treat kids who have lymphatic system and vascular (or circulatory) system disorders.
IR also is done to help kids who have narrowing of their blood vessels or, more rarely, an aneurysm. If a child has a buildup of pus or fluid, IR might be done to safely place drainage tubes with a smaller procedure than open surgery. IR can also guide biopisec(getting small pieces of tissue to check under a microscope) when an unknown mass is found.
