Frequently asked questions
Interventional procedures are minimally invasive medical treatments performed using image guidance (CT, ultrasound, or X-ray) to diagnose and treat various conditions. These procedures often eliminate the need for traditional surgery and result in faster recovery times.
Most interventional procedures take between 30-60 minutes, though some may be shorter or longer depending on the complexity. We will provide you with an estimated time when scheduling your procedure.
Most procedures require only local anesthesia to numb the area. Some procedures may require conscious sedation for comfort. General anesthesia is rarely needed. Your radiologist will discuss the best option for your specific procedure.
We perform various procedures including image-guided biopsies, therapeutic injections (joints, spine), drainage procedures, nerve blocks, and pain management interventions. Each procedure is tailored to your specific medical needs.
You may feel slight discomfort from the local anesthetic injection, but the procedure itself should not be painful. Our team prioritizes your comfort and will ensure you are as comfortable as possible throughout.
Preparation varies by procedure but may include fasting, stopping certain medications, or arranging transportation. We will provide detailed instructions when you schedule your appointment.
Interventional procedures are generally very safe with minimal risks. Potential complications are rare but may include bleeding, infection, or allergic reactions. Your radiologist will discuss specific risks related to your procedure.
Most patients can resume normal activities within 24 hours. Heavy lifting and strenuous exercise should be avoided for a few days. We will provide specific post-procedure instructions based on your procedure.
Preliminary results may be available immediately for some procedures. Complete results, including pathology reports for biopsies, are typically available within 24-48 hours and will be sent to your referring doctor.
