What is Interventional Radiology?
Interventional Radiology is a unique medical specialty that performs minimally invasive, image-guided procedures.
Interventional radiologists are highly trained medical doctors that are experts both in medical imaging and in performing these minimally invasive procedures. In fact, IR doctors are board certified in two medical specialties: Radiology and Interventional Radiology. They use their expertise to perform procedures with small incisions in the skin, which can reduce the risk of complications, minimize pain and shorten recovery times. IR plays an important role in modern medicine, offering patients safe, effective and minimally invasive options for diagnosis and treatment.
Patient Experiences
Every day, DRI strives to ensure patients have the best possible experience before, during and after their exams and procedures. It shows in patient feedback.
This is a team, and when you walk in, you know that you are working with a team that understands what is happening to you and is here to support you. There is nothing awful, frightening or scary about this, because it is a place that is affirmative, it is supportive and it is a place of peace.
