Interventional Radiology is a medical subspecialty that uses image-guided, minimally invasive techniques that are often an alternative to conventional surgery. Interventional Radiologists are highly trained in imaging, radiation safety, patient management, and the performance of procedures. Interventional Radiologists diagnose and treat a wide variety of conditions by using small catheters (tubes) or other devices guided by x-ray, ultrasound, or computed tomography imaging. Procedures performed by Interventional Radiologists are generally less costly and less traumatic to the patient, involve smaller incisions, shorter (or no) hospital stays, less pain and shorter recovery time than surgery.

The Interventional Radiologists at Texas Radiology Associates have been identified as leaders in vascular diagnosis and therapy, specializing in endovascular (non-surgical) interventions such as angioplasty, stent placement, embolization, vascular access, endovenous ablation and related procedures. Many nonvascular interventions such as kyphoplasty and vertebroplasty are performed as well. All of our Interventional Radiologists are board certified and subspecialty certified physicians, who perform these procedures at several Metroplex hospitals. Each of our Interventional Radiologists has one or more areas of special interest and expertise. These include: infertility, fibroid embolization, non-surgical aneurysm repair, angioplasty and stent placement, liver disease/tumors, hypertension, peripheral arterial disease and peripheral venous disease/varicose vein treatment.
