What is Interventional Radiology?
Interventional radiology is a medical specialty that utilizes highly precise imaging techniques, such as X-rays, ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), to guide minimally-invasive procedures.
Our team of expert interventional radiologists harnesses these technologies to visualize internal structures and precisely target treatment areas, all while minimizing patient discomfort and recovery times with minimal effect to healthy surrounding tissue.
At Baylor Scott & White, we specialize in providing interventional radiology (IR) services aimed at delivering minimally-invasive solutions for diagnosing and treating a wide range of medical conditions. We merge imaging technologies with advanced medical procedures to offer patients safer, more effective alternatives to traditional surgery, especially for patients with other underlying health conditions.

Menos riesgo, mejores resultados
Interventional radiology treatments offer less risk, less pain, smaller incisions/scarring and shorter recovery time, and often deliver the same or better results without surgical risks and long hospital stays. From treating vascular conditions like blocked arteries to targeting tumors and alleviating chronic pain, interventional radiology offers a broad spectrum of therapeutic options for diverse medical needs.
