Vascular and Interventional Radiology

Interventional Radiology is a branch of medicine specialising in the use of advanced imaging modalities (digital subtraction angiography, Ultrasound, fluoroscopy and CT) to guide the performance of minimally invasive diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in different parts of the body. The treatments offer less risk, less pain and less recovery time. It has been termed as “Surgery of the new millennium”.
