Interventional radiology services

Legacy's vascular and interventional radiologists are leaders in the field of interventional radiology (IR), in which minimally-invasive treatments use the images from computer tomography (CT), fluoroscopy, rotational X-ray, ultrasound or MRI.

These images help the interventional radiologist to guide catheters, wires, balloons and stents inside the body to the targeted vessel, organ, or cavity. IR procedures are low risk, and can minimize pain and recovery time compared with traditional surgery.

Advanced expertise

Legacy's interventional team includes:

  • Interventional radiologists who are board-certified physicians with accreditation in vascular, interventional and diagnostic radiology
  • Board-certified vascular surgeons with sub-specialty training, and certification in vascular surgery by the American Board of Surgery

 

Together, these specialists offer a mastery of minimally invasive treatments along with diagnostic and clinical expertise across all medical specialties.
