Interventional Radiology

CMC Hospital Dubai Interventional Radiology clinic provides some of the most advanced non-surgical and minimally invasive treatment options for a variety of conditions, resulting in reduced risks and improved recovery times. IR procedures are performed through small incisions or punctures, often using catheters or other thin instruments, which are guided to the target area using real-time imaging.

  Overview

Interventional Radiology (IR) is a medical subspecialty that utilizes minimally invasive image-guided procedures to diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions. It combines the use of advanced imaging technologies, such as X-ray, fluoroscopy, ultrasound, CT scan, or MRI, with the expertise of interventional radiologists to perform precise interventions with minimal risk and shorter recovery times compared to traditional surgery.

Conditions treated with Interventional radiology include:

Vascular Diseases

  • Peripheral arterial disease (PAD)
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
  • Varicose veins
  • Aneurysms

Urological Conditions

  • Varicocele (varicocele embolization)

Gynaecological Conditions

  • Uterine fibroids (uterine artery embolization)

Gastrointestinal Disorders

  • Percutaneous gastrostomy or jejunostomy tube placement
  • Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) for portal hypertension
  • Image-guided biopsy of the liver or other abdominal organs.

Kidney and Urinary Tract Disorders

  • Nephrostomy tube placement
  • Percutaneous stone removal
  • Renal artery embolization
  • Image-guided biopsy aid in managing kidney stones, tumors, and other disorders.

Pain Management

  • Nerve blocks
  • Facet joint injections
  • Vertebroplasty
  • Kyphoplasty

Interventional Oncology

  • Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE)
  • Radioembolization
  • Ablation techniques

Cancer Treatment

  • Tumor embolization
  • Chemoembolization
  • Radiofrequency ablation (RFA)
  • Microwave ablation
  • Cryoablation
  • Radioembolization
FAQ's
What is interventional radiology?
Interventional radiology, referred to as IR is a medical specialty that uses minimally invasive techniques (often catheter based) with imaging guidance to perform precise procedures.

How does interventional radiology differ from traditional surgery?
Interventional radiology procedures are minimally invasive, involving smaller incisions, shorter hospital stays, reduced pain, and quicker recovery times compared to open surgery. It often utilizes imaging guidance for precision, allowing treatments to be performed without the need for large surgical incisions.


Are interventional radiology procedures safe?
Interventional radiology procedures are generally safe, with a lower risk of complications compared to traditional surgery. However as with all procedures, there are risks that will be discussed with your interventional radiologist.
