Frequently Asked Questions

An Interventional Radiologist treats many conditions without surgery, such as vascular occlusions, abdominal vascular diseases, aneurysms, varicose veins, tumor treatments, fibroids, prostate, hemorrhoids, as well as joint or herniated disc pain, using image-guided interventional procedures.

Patients with vascular occlusion, varicose veins, liver tumors, thyroid nodules, aneurysms, hemangiomas, lumbar or cervical herniated discs, complaints related to joint degeneration, or the need for biopsy are usually referred to interventional radiology specialists.

While surgeons perform open surgery, interventional radiologists treat through needle-sized openings under imaging guidance, shortening the recovery period. Anesthesia is not required, and patients can usually be discharged on the same day.

Ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and angiography devices are the most frequently used imaging techniques in interventional radiology.

Patients are generally referred to interventional radiologists by orthopedics, neurosurgery, oncology, urology, or general surgery specialists after appropriate examinations.

In life-threatening situations such as acute vascular occlusion, internal bleeding, cerebral aneurysm rupture, pulmonary embolism, or coughing up blood, interventional radiologists perform rapid interventions.

Liver tumors, kidney tumors, lung nodules, bone metastases, and osteoid osteomas can be treated with interventional radiology techniques such as ablation or embolization.

Yes, interventional radiologists treat diseases using needles or catheters without surgery, providing the advantages of less pain, shorter hospital stay, and faster recovery.

After medical school, 5 years of radiology residency followed by 2 years of training in interventional radiology are required. This allows physicians to specialize in performing treatments under advanced imaging guidance.

These specialists treat brain aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations, vascular occlusions, strokes, treatment-resistant headaches, increased or decreased intracranial pressure, and spinal vascular diseases using interventional methods.

Common procedures include brain aneurysm coiling, stent placement, carotid stenting, recanalization of vascular occlusions, tumor embolization, and spinal biopsy.

Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), computed tomography angiography (CTA), and digital subtraction angiography (DSA) are the main imaging methods used in diagnosis and treatment.

Yes, interventional neuroradiological procedures can be performed in children for congenital brain vascular malformations (such as vein of Galen malformation), tumors, or spinal disorders.

While neurosurgeons intervene with open surgery, neurointerventional radiologists perform treatments from inside the vessels under imaging guidance. This method is less invasive and shortens the recovery period.
