Interventional Radiology (IR) is a medical specialty that uses imaging guidance to perform minimally invasive procedures. It is a subspecialty of radiology that uses imaging guidance such as X-ray, ultrasound, computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to perform a variety of procedures. These procedures are used to diagnose and treat diseases in nearly every organ system. IR procedures are often used to treat conditions such as cancer, vascular diseases, and other conditions that require targeted treatments.
IR is a rapidly growing field, with new technologies and techniques being developed to improve patient outcomes. IR procedures are often less invasive than traditional surgical procedures, resulting in shorter recovery times and fewer complications. IR is also used to perform image-guided biopsies, which can provide more accurate diagnosis and treatment.
Some companies in the Interventional Radiology market include Siemens Healthineers, Philips Healthcare, GE Healthcare, Canon Medical Systems, and Toshiba Medical Systems. Show Less Read more
