Interventional Radiology

Ultrasonography (USG), Computed Tomography (CT) and fluoroscopy are used as guidance techniques.

In parallel with the developments in the field of Medical Imaging, techniques that causes the least harm to the human body and allow the diagnosis and treatments by minimizing surgical interventions are being developed.

Local anesthesia is usually used in interventions. Thanks to these methods, which can be applied more easily than surgical procedures, and are generally less painful and less risky, the duration of hospitalization has also become shorter.

This medical subspecialty, called interventional radiology, includes diagnosis under the guidance of imaging systems and the application of direct therapeutic procedures by radiologists with special tools.
