Interventional radiology (IR) is a medical specialty that performs various minimally-invasive procedures using medical imaging guidance, such as x-ray fluoroscopy, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, or ultrasound. IR performs both diagnostic and therapeutic procedures through very small incisions or body orifices.
Interventional magnetic resonance imaging, also interventional MRI or IMRI, is the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to do interventional radiology procedures.. Because of the lack of harmful effects on the patient and the operator, MR is well suited for "interventional radiology", where the images produced by an MRI scanner are used to guide a minimally-invasive procedure ...
Interventional neuroradiology (INR) also known as neurointerventional surgery (NIS), endovascular therapy (EVT), endovascular neurosurgery, and interventional neurology is a medical subspecialty of neurosurgery, neuroradiology, intervention radiology and neurology specializing in minimally invasive image-based technologies and procedures used in diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the head ...
The Society of Interventional Radiology (SIR) is an American national organization of physicians, scientists and allied health professionals dedicated to improving public health through the use of minimally invasive, image-guided therapeutic interventions for disease management.
The Journal of Clinical Interventional Radiology is a triannual open-access peer-reviewed medical journal covering all aspects of vascular and non-vascular interventional radiology. It is published by Thieme Medical Publishers on behalf of the Indian Society of Vascular and Interventional Radiology .
Interventional Radiology Technologists, or IR techs, fulfill a vital subspecialty within the radiology field by operating advanced imaging equipment and ensuring precise execution of procedures.
Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) is a minimally invasive procedure performed in interventional radiology to restrict a tumor's blood supply. Small embolic particles coated with chemotherapeutic drugs are injected selectively through a catheter into an artery directly supplying the tumor.
The Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology is a monthly peer-reviewed medical journal covering the field of interventional radiology. It was established in 1990 and is published by Elsevier on behalf of the Society of Interventional Radiology. The editor-in-chief is Daniel Y. Sze.
