Technological changes in health care have provided miracles of modern medicine, expanding the boundaries of what can be achieved. Just as we use emails instead of postcards and Google Maps in strange cities, medicine is evolving in its methods. One of the most progressive and rapidly growing fields of medicine is interventional radiology.

These can be an excellent and cost effective alternative to more invasive treatments. The advantages include :

1. No need for general anaesthesia or hospital admission

2. Minimal post-operative pain

3. Early mobilization and rapid return to work.

4. Precise and targeted treatment under imaging guidance with very few or no side effects.

Interventional radiology offers a wide scope of endovascular and non-vascular procedures for a large number of diseases, detailed and explained for patient information here.
