Interventional Radiology

Interventional Radiology at Rochester General includes board-certified, fellowship-trained Interventional Radiologists who collaborate with a patient's primary care physician to provide managed, personalized care. Our team guides patients through the entire interventional radiology process so they know what to expect during the procedure, understand the potential risks and complications, and are comfortable with their treatment plan.

Interventional Radiology Procedures & Treatments

Interventional radiology is a specialty which uses imaging (i.e., X-ray, CT, and Ultrasound) guidance to perform minimally invasive diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. These procedures often replace conventional surgery.

Some of the most common interventional radiology procedures include:

• Uterine fibroid embolization - a minimally invasive fibroid treatment
• Kyphoplasty (balloon kyphoplasty) for osteoporotic compression fractures of the spine
• Catheter directed thrombolysis
• Chemoembolization
• Deep vein thrombosis
• Radioembolization or selective internal radiation therapy
• Microwave, RFA, cryoablation of tumors in the liver & kidney
