Interventional Radiology in Lucknow | Minimally Invasive Cancer Treatment – I D Cancer Centre

Interventional Radiology (IR) is a modern medical specialty that uses imaging guidance—such as ultrasound, CT scan, MRI, or fluoroscopy—to perform minimally invasive procedures for diagnosis and treatment.

It allows doctors to treat many conditions without major surgery, resulting in faster recovery, fewer complications, and better outcomes.

⭐ What Is Interventional Radiology?

Interventional Radiology uses small needles, catheters, and image-guided tools to reach affected areas inside the body with high precision.

Instead of large surgical cuts, IR procedures use tiny punctures, making them much less painful and easier to recover from.

IR is commonly used for cancer diagnosis, tumor treatment, pain relief, and managing complications related to cancer.

✔️ Minimally invasive—no open surgery required
✔️ Faster recovery and early return to routine activities
✔️ Less pain and discomfort
✔️ Fewer hospital days
✔️ Lower risk of infection and bleeding
✔️ High precision through imaging guidance
✔️ Suitable for patients unfit for major surgery
