Interventional Radiology

Interventional Radiology at Central Peninsula Hospital uses real-time imaging to guide minimally invasive procedures that diagnose and treat a wide variety of conditions — often replacing the need for traditional surgery.

Procedures

• Image-guided biopsies (lung, liver, kidney, bone)
• Stereotactic breast biopsies
• Abscess and fluid drainage
• Central venous catheter and port placement
• Vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty for spinal fractures
• Uterine fibroid embolization
• Vascular access procedures for dialysis

Benefits

• Smaller incisions (often just a needle puncture)
• Less pain and faster recovery
• Lower infection risk
• Often performed on an outpatient basis
• Reduced overall treatment costs
