Our Services
Interventional Radiology (IR) makes use of X-ray, MRI, Ultrasound, and CT to introduce various interventional instruments into the body for diagnosis and treatment. As many IR procedures start with passing a needle through the skin to the target, it is sometimes called pinhole surgery and, in many cases, it is an effective alternative to open surgery.

FROM OUR PATIENTS
Uterine Fibroid Embolization
"I am very happy with the outcome of my UFE. Life is better now that I'm not incapacitated every month by horrible bleeding episodes. My strength is coming back and I didn't have to undergo a hysterectomy. I feel lucky that UFE was unavailable to me. I'm sure I made the right choice. Very happy!"
