An Interventional radiologist is a board-certified physician that specialize in minimally invasive, targeted treatments. They offer the most in-depth knowledge of the least invasive treatments available coupled with diagnostic and clinical experience across all specialties. They use X-rays, MRI and other imaging to advance a catheter in the body, usually in an artery or vein, to treat at the source of the disease internally.
Interventional radiology is a recognized medical specialty by the American Board of Medical Specialties. An interventional radiologist is a board-certified physician with additional advanced training in minimally invasive, targeted treatments performed using imaging to guide them. Their board certification includes both Vascular and Interventional Radiology and Diagnostic Radiology, which are administered by the American Board of Radiology.
