Interventional radiology

Interventional radiology is considered a specialized modality of radiology that deals mostly with invasive image-guided procedures. With advances in technology, interventional procedures can be performed on several areas of the body with success in conjunction with using live x-rays during exams. Cerebral aneurysms often can be in susceptible areas of the brain, and usually, are considered somewhat high risk in nature. The use of endovascular coiling can prove to not only be successful, but…
