Interventional Radiology (IR)

Based at Good Samaritan Hospital, the Interventional Radiologists of RAMG are focused on providing dynamic interventional procedures utilizing the latest technology to offer the most advanced and effective treatments available. Interventional radiologists are specially trained doctors who use X-rays and other imaging techniques to "see" inside the body while they guide narrow tubes (catheters) and other very small instruments through the blood vessels and other pathways of the body to the site of a problem, treating a variety of medical disorders without surgery. Procedures performed by interventional radiologists (IRs) are generally less costly and less traumatic to the patient, involving smaller incisions, less pain, and shorter hospital stays.
