Types of Interventional Radiology
Interventional radiology methods are classified into two types: diagnostic and therapeutic treatments.
- Diagnostic Procedures: Anatomical images are used in diagnostic procedures to accurately target anomalies for biopsy, such as those found in cancerous tumours, or to introduce a radiopaque substance to visualise hollow structures, like blood vessels or canals. Among the diagnostic interventional radiology techniques are angiography, cholangiography, and various types of biopsies.
- Therapeutic Procedures: Therapeutic techniques, such as stents, laser therapy, or clotting agents, precisely target treatments for specific problems. Some of the therapeutic interventional radiology techniques include balloon angioplasty, embolization, thrombolysis, IVC filters, endovenous laser therapy, catheter insertion, and percutaneous nephrostomy.
A subspecialty of radiology is called Interventional Radiology or IR. Interventional Radiology is the study and practice of using medical imaging to direct minimally invasive procedures for the diagnosis, management, and treatment of various diseases. Fluoroscopy, MRI, CT, and ultrasound are a few of the imaging techniques used in the procedure. Cancer and other illnesses can be detected and treated with Interventional Radiology (IR) without the need for extensive surgery. The medical professionals who specialise in image-guided, targeted interventions are known as interventional radiologists.

Procedure performed at Gleneagles Hospital, Lakdi-Ka-Pul, Hyderabad
The procedures used in interventional radiology encompass a wide variety. Depending on the medical problem and the region being treated, different techniques and instruments are employed during each surgery.
- Angiography - This involves X-ray imaging of the arteries and veins to identify abnormalities such as vascular constriction or blockage.
- Angioplasty - A small catheter with a balloon tip is inserted into a blood vessel. The balloon is then inflated to clear a blockage within the vessel.
- Gastrostomy tubes - If an individual is unable to swallow food by mouth, a feeding tube is inserted into the stomach by the doctor.
- Embolization - To block blood flow through a blood vessel, a substance is inserted through a catheter by the doctor. This can help control bleeding.
- Intravascular ultrasound - The doctor utilises ultrasonography to view inside a blood vessel for diagnostic purposes.
- Stent placement: At the location of the obstruction, the doctor inserts a thin mesh coil (stent) inside a blood artery. To remove the obstruction, they extend the stent.
- Needle biopsy: To conduct a tissue biopsy, the medical professional inserts a tiny needle into practically any area of the body while being guided by imaging techniques. This kind of biopsy can provide a diagnosis without requiring surgery.
- Cancer treatment: The oncologist administers the cancer medication directly to the tumour.
- IVC filters: The medical professional inserts a tiny filter into the IVC (inferior vena cava) to stop blood clots that may go to the lungs.
- Catheter insertions: To provide chemotherapy medications, nourishment, or hemodialysis, the clinician inserts a tube (catheter) into a sizable vein. A catheter may also be inserted before a bone marrow transplant.
