Interventional Radiology Procedures
Preparing For Your Procedure
You will receive a phone call from an interventional radiology nurse to give instructions approximately one week before your procedure. Please inform us if you are taking any aspirin products, blood thinners or anti-platelet medications. It may be necessary for you to temporarily stop taking these medications, and you may be required to have additional blood tests on the morning of your procedure.
Diagnostic Imaging
Our board-certified radiologists, experts in a variety of radiology subspecialties, work closely with other St. Elizabeth’s specialists, surgeons and referring physicians, to accurately diagnose disorders using the latest in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computerized tomography (CT), PET, and ultrasound scanning technologies. They are highly experienced in the latest interventional imaging procedures.
At St. Elizabeth’s Medical Center, all images are digital, allowing for rapid diagnosis and safekeeping.
Interventional Radiology
The concept behind interventional radiology is to diagnose and treat patients using the least invasive techniques currently available in order to minimize risk to the patient and improve health outcomes. These procedures have less risk, less pain and less recovery time compared to open surgery.
Interventional radiologists are medical doctors with an additional six or seven years of specialized training after medical school. All of our interventionalists are certified by the American Board of Radiology.
