Interventional Radiology & Oncology

I am an interventional radiologist who performs minimally invasive procedures using image guidance (x-ray, CT, ultrasound, and MRI). Interventional radiology is a growing field which uses less invasive approaches to treat many conditions which otherwise would require surgery. Patients who have interventional radiological procedures do not need a large incision and often do not require general anesthesia. In many cases, these procedures are less risky, and recovery times are shorter than with traditional surgery.
