Abstract:
Interventional Radiology utilizes imaging guidance (primarily fluoroscopy, computed tomography and ultrasound) to perform diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in a minimally invasive manner. This update highlights several current and newer interventional radiology options for treatment of uterine fibroids, interventional oncology procedures for liver tumors and metastatic disease, varicose vein treatment, carotid stenting, cerebral aneurysm coiling, and removable inferior vena cava (IVC) filters.

Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...

Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...
