Interventional Radiology
Minimally-invasive diagnosis and treatment offering less pain, less risk and a lower recovery time for many conditions
Using advanced imaging technology, our interventional radiologists perform a wide range of procedures to diagnose and treat many conditions from cancer to vascular disease. Interventional Radiologists are physicians with additional specialty training in radiology.
The Interventional Radiology Department at Methodist Hospital is a regional referral center specializing in imaging-guided procedures.
