IYA Medical is at the Forefront of Interventional Radiology
IYA Medical’s Program of Vascular and Interventional Radiology (IR) uses state-of-the-art minimally invasive techniques and imaging-guidance to replace conventional surgery. IR radiologists are involved in the treatment of patients as well as the diagnosis of disease, providing a full array of patient care for the chest, abdomen, and extremities. Services include diagnostic arteriography, renal and peripheral vascular interventions, biliary, thoracic, and abdominal stent-grafts, venous access procedures, and embolization cancer therapies.
The IR Clinic provides patient evaluations and referral follow-ups, with special emphasis on regional therapy of liver, bone, breast, spine malignancies, uterine fibroid embolization, and ablations. With the use of catheters, various x-ray, and imaging techniques using CT, MRI, and Ultrasound scanner machines, IR offers an alternative to surgical treatment and can eliminate the need for hospitalization in certain cases.
IYA Medical is actively engaged in basic clinical trial research — all designed to advance innovations in minimally invasive, image-guided therapies and further scientific knowledge in the field.

What is Interventional Radiology (IR)?
Interventional radiology is a medical sub-specialty of radiology utilizing minimally-invasive image-guided procedures to diagnose and treat diseases in nearly every organ system. The concept behind interventional radiology is to diagnose and treat patients using the least invasive techniques currently available to minimize risk to the patient and improve health outcomes. These procedures have less risk, less pain, and less recovery time in comparison to open surgery.
Interventional radiologists are medical doctors with additional six or seven years of specialized training after medical school. All of our interventional radiologists have a one or two-year fellowship program after their diagnostic radiology residency. They are certified by the American Board of Radiology.
IR is now a therapeutic and diagnostic specialty that comprises a wide range of minimally invasive image-guided therapeutic procedures as well as invasive diagnostic imaging. The range of diseases and organs amenable to image-guided therapeutic and diagnostic procedures are extensive and constantly evolving, and include, but are not limited to, diseases and elements of the vascular, gastrointestinal, hepatobiliary, genitourinary, pulmonary, musculoskeletal, and central nervous system. As part of IR practice, IR physicians provide patient evaluation and management relevant to image-guided interventions in collaboration with other physicians or independently. IR procedures have become an integral part of medical care.
