DIVISION SERVICES: INTERVENTIONAL NEURORADIOLOGY Interventional Neuroradiology is a specialty branch of medicine predominantly dedicated to the treatment of vascular disorders of the brain and spine using minimally invasive techniques. The Interventional Neuroradiologist is a radiology doctor with additional specialized training and expertise in endovascular (means within the vascular system) therapy, who specializes in treating these disorders by navigating small catheters through the blood vessels (arteries and veins) using x-ray guidance. Through the use of these small catheters, Interventional Neuroradiologists are able to perform procedures and treat disorders of the brain, head/neck, and spine that may otherwise require open surgery. In addition to treating a wide variety of neurologic vascular disorders, the Interventional Neuroradiology Physicians perform Percutaneous Vertebroplasty for painful vertebral compression fractures. |
