Interventional Radiology Procedure
Dr. Ripal Gandhi, Interventional Radiologist with Miami Cardiac & Vascular Institute, says interventional radiology is a procedure where the physician uses image guidance to perform procedures.
Besides, a more specialized field of that is interventional oncology when the specialist uses image guided procedures to perform procedures in patients who have cancer, the doctor explains.
Not every patient is a surgical candidate. Maybe patients are amenable to even more minimally invasive procedures, like ablation, he says.
