Interventional radiology is a rapidly growing area of medicine. This subspecialty of Radiology employs imaging to guide procedures using minimally invasive techniques. The Interventional Radiology Department at Newton-Wellesley Hospital serves communities throughout Greater Boston. Our Interventional radiologists are fully trained diagnostic radiologists who have undergone an additional one or two years of training in interventional techniques. The American Board of Radiology and the American Board of Medical Specialists officially recognize the field of interventional radiology as a subspecialty of radiology. It has its own subspecialty board examination and certification.
Procedures may be performed anywhere in the body by using specially designed catheters (thin plastic tubes) and guide wires that can be passed through blood vessels, ducts or other pathways in the body. In most instances, only a small puncture in the skin is necessary, and there is little if any discomfort during the procedure. Most procedures can be performed with only minimal amounts of sedation and while using local anesthetics.
