Interventional Radiology
Interventional radiology is a medical specialty that uses imaging techniques (like X-rays or ultrasound) to perform minimally invasive procedures instead of major surgery.

What do you think of when you hear the word “radiology”? For many people, it’s the procedures that help doctors visualize and diagnose health conditions, like an X-ray for a broken bone or an ultrasound to check up on an unborn baby. But did you know that those imaging tools can be used to treat you, too?
At U-M Health, our interventional radiologists often need just a small incision to treat everything from kidney stones to brain tumors. Small incisions mean safer procedures, less pain, and quicker recovery times, so you can get back to doing the things you enjoy with the people you care about.
