2. Introduction
 IR (INTERVENTIONAL RADIOLOGY)
Image guided surgery/surgical radiology.
 Intervention means –an action or process of
interfering.
 So IR in medical practice means interfering of
radiology in diagnostic and treatment procedure.
 IR is minimally invasive procedures.
 IR proposed on Jan. 16, 1964 by the Dr. Charles
Theodore Dotter performed the first angioplasty.
 He is the father of interventional radiology.

3. Cont..
 Interventional radiology also called IR.
 Doctors use medical imaging to guide
minimally invasive surgical procedures.
 For diagnose, treatment and cure many kinds
of conditions.
 Imaging modalities used include fluoroscopy,
MRI, CT, and ultrasound.
 Radiologists work in the department of
vascular and interventional radiology.

4. Conti…
 8 out of 10 procedures use skin incisions
smaller than 5mm.
 9 out of 10 procedures use only local
anesthesia.
 8out of 10 patients go home the same day.

5. Conti…
 Interventional radiologists make small
incisions, usually in your abdomen,
 It use needles and catheters to treat
conditions inside your body.
 Medical images are used to guide their
catheters through your blood vessels,
arteries, and organs.

6. Cont….
 interventional radiology
reduces cost, recovery time, pain,
and risk to patients who would otherwise
need traditional open surgery. Because of
this, IR has become the primary way to treat
many types of conditions. The treatments IR
can effectively

7. Examples of IR Procedures:
 Angioplasty- repair or unblocking of blood
vessels.
 Stenting- small mesh tubes that treat narrow or
weak arteries.
 Thrombolysis- dissolving blood clots.
 Embolization- block blood flow to cancer cells.
 Radiofrequency ablation- used to reduce nerve
pain.
 Biopsies- study of tissues.

8. Conti..
 Angiography
 Embolization( blockage) of artery
 Drainage of fluid collection- abscess, kidney,
GB and bile duct.
 Insertion of feeding tube.
 Treatment of liver tumor, bone tumors portal
vein hypertension.

9. indications
 Aneurysm
 Embolization
 Uterine fibroid
 Thrombolysis
 Peripheral artery disease
 Blocking and narrowing artery
 Artherosclerosis

10. Cont…
 Screening of the coronary artery.
 Screening and evaluation of coronary
patency.
 Acute MI.
 Ventricular arrhythmias
 Congenital anomalies
 Unstable angina
 Grafting procedure

11. Conti..
 Left ventricular dysfunction.
 Chronic stable angina .
 Valvular heart disease

12. Advantages
 Reduced risks
 Less pain and discomfort
 Shorter hospital stay
 fast recovery times
 Lower costs
 Batter outcome

13. Disadvantages
 Radiation exposure for patient and health
care providers
 Repeated exposure increase the risk of
certain health issues.

14. Risk
 Pain
 Swelling
 Septicemia
 Hematoma
 Contrast reactions
 Mild
 Moderate
 severe
