Imaging and Interventional Radiology involves diagnostic imaging techniques and minimally invasive procedures guided by imaging technology to diagnose and treat various conditions.

Procedures include biopsies, catheter placements, embolizations, and other techniques to treat conditions such as tumors, blockages, and internal bleeding.

These procedures use imaging techniques such as X-rays, CT scans, or ultrasound to guide the placement of instruments and perform interventions with precision.

Most procedures are performed under local anesthesia or sedation to minimize discomfort. Patients may experience some soreness or mild pain afterward.

Preparation varies by procedure. It may include fasting, avoiding certain medications, or specific instructions provided by your healthcare provider.

Preparation includes a thorough evaluation by a neurologist, imaging studies, and discussions about the procedure, risks, and benefits with your medical team.

Candidates include individuals with significant thyroid issues such as large nodules, goiter causing symptoms, or thyroid cancer requiring surgical intervention.
