Common questions about interventional radiology
Interventional Radiology (IR) is a medical specialty that uses minimally invasive image-guided procedures to diagnose and treat diseases. Using imaging techniques like X-ray, CT, MRI, and ultrasound, interventional radiologists can perform procedures through small incisions, avoiding the need for traditional open surgery. Maximising the result with minimal or no complications.
Most interventional radiology procedures are performed under local anesthesia with sedation, making them relatively painless. You may experience mild discomfort during the procedure, but it's generally much less than traditional surgery. Post-procedure pain is typically minimal and easily managed with over-the-counter pain medications.
Recovery time varies depending on the specific procedure, but most patients can return to normal activities within 1-3 days. This is significantly faster than traditional surgery, which may require weeks of recovery. Many procedures are performed on an outpatient basis, allowing you to go home the same day.

Complications are rare, and the use of image guidance ensures high precision. Dr. Kalia follows strict safety protocols and uses the latest technology to minimize any potential risks.
