Interventional Radiology

Comprehensive ImageGuided Intervention From Diagnosis to Cure.

Advanced ImageGuided Intervention delivered by subspecialty experts 24 / 7.

Our interventions range from vascular and oncology procedures to hepatobiliary, genitourinary, musculoskeletal, and endocrine interventions, offering patients minimally invasive options that reduce recovery time and hospital stay. Through a streamlined care pathway and multidisciplinary coordination, we ensure each patient receives the highest level of precision and safety at every step of their care journey.

Frequently Asked Questions.

What is Interventional Radiology?

Interventional Radiology (IR) uses advanced imaging techniques such as CT, MRI, and ultrasound to guide minimally invasive procedures for diagnosis and treatment—often as alternatives to open surgery.

What types of conditions can be treated with Interventional Radiology?

IR can treat a wide range of conditions, including vascular diseases, tumors, liver and biliary disorders, kidney obstructions, spine fractures, and thyroid nodules, among others.

What are the benefits of image-guided interventions?

These procedures typically involve smaller incisions, less pain, faster recovery, and shorter hospital stays while maintaining high precision and safety.

How do patients access Interventional Radiology services at Burjeel Medical City?

Patients can be referred by their physician or directly book a consultation. Our IR team reviews each case, customizes the imaging protocol, and coordinates care from diagnosis through follow-up for optimal outcomes.
