Information about your examination
Interventional Radiology refers to diagnostic and therapeutic procedures performed using minimally invasive tools guided by imaging techniques such as fluoroscopy, ultrasound, digital angiography, and computed tomography. This approach allows for precise diagnosis and treatment.
Minimally invasive techniques result in fewer complications, shorter hospital stays, lower costs, and an overall improved patient experience.
The Interventional Radiology Department at Metropolitan Hospital is fully equipped with state-of-the-art imaging devices and staffed by a specialized team of physicians and nurses. It is recognized as one of the most advanced departments in Europe. An experienced anesthesiologist is always present during procedures, and most interventions are performed under sedation to ensure the best possible patient comfort.
