At Park Group of Hospitals, the Interventional Radiology & Imaging department is equipped with state-of-the-art technology and a team of expert radiologists who ensure accurate diagnosis and treatment of conditions with minimal invasiveness. The department comprises specialists trained in Interventional Radiology, offering the latest and most advanced interventional procedures. 

Interventional Radiology (IR) is a medical specialty that uses image-guided procedures to diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions. IR procedures are less invasive than traditional surgery and often have shorter recovery times. They are performed using imaging guidance such as X-rays, CT scans, or MRIs, allowing the physician to see inside the body and guide the procedure without making a large incision.

IR can be used to treat cancer, vascular and neurovascular problems, and gastrointestinal disorders. Common procedures include angiography, imaging of blood vessels; biopsies, the removal of tissue samples; and ablation, the destruction of diseased tissue. IR is also used for pain management, treatment of varicose veins, and neuro-intervention to manage acute strokes, aneurysms, and arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). 

An Interventional Radiologist requires essential skills, including the interpretation of diagnostic images and precise control of needles, catheters, and wires to reach the exact location for the procedure. Key benefits include less pain, reduced blood loss, lower risk of infection, faster recovery, and suitability for patients at higher risk from general anaesthesia.
