Interventional radiology uses state of the art imaging to offer patients a minimally invasive alternative to surgical treatment.
Interventional radiology utilises ultrasound, CT (computerised tomography) and fluoroscopy to perform many different procedures.
The Interventional Suite and its recovery area are located at the Radiology Department, level 3, at the end of the corridor.
