Interventional Radiology Services
The latest advances in imaging technology and medical training make it possible to diagnose and treat a variety of conditions using small catheters and needles. UCI Health interventional radiologists are leaders in this image-guided therapeutic revolution.
With miniaturized tools and tiny catheters, our specialists deliver precisely targeted treatment anywhere inside the body — without the need for open surgery. They are skilled in techniques that enable them to:
- Destroy malignant tumors with extreme heat or cold, without harming healthy tissue
- Open blocked blood vessels in peripheral disease and diabetes
- Biopsy tissue in areas that once required exploratory surgery
- Drain blockages in the liver, gallbladder, kidney and other organs
For patients, this can mean less pain and scarring, as well as a recovery measured in days instead of weeks.
With these advances in technology, we can provide a range of services, including:
- Biopsy
- Kidney and liver cancer treatment
- Kidney and liver disease treatment
- Peripheral arterial disease treatment
- Port placement
Our interventional radiology team members work collaboratively with all our UCI Health specialists, including spine and vascular surgeons, urologists, gynecologists and cancer specialists to ensure that our patients receive the best possible care.
