Interventional radiology tests and treatments are done by interventional radiologists. These doctors are specially trained in anatomy and image guidance.
They treat kids who have lymphatic system and vascular (or circulatory) system disorders. These problems can be congenital (present at birth) or acquired (starting after birth). Interventional radiologists use small specialized equipment and precise imaging to diagnose and treat these and many other disorders.
Doctors may send patients to an interventional radiologist for many different reasons. Most children who get IR have a tumor or a vascular problem that’s treated with image-guided therapies instead of (or along with) traditional surgery or medical therapy.
IR also is done to help kids who have narrowing of their blood vessels or, more rarely, an aneurysm. If a child has a buildup of pus or fluid, IR might be done to safely place drainage tubes with a smaller procedure than open surgery. IR can also guide biopsies (getting small pieces of tissue to check under a microscope) when an unknown mass is found.
Breakthroughs in technology and imaging have created new treatment choices for patients. In this new era of medicine, personalized medicine means doing the right thing for each patient. Ask your doctor about treatments that are less invasive. And, if you are a candidate for open surgery, consider getting a second opinion from an interventional radiologist. There may be a minimally invasive approach that could dramatically reduce your pain, risk and recovery time.
