What is Interventional Radiology?

Interventional radiology (IR) is a medical specialty that performs minimally invasive, image-guided procedures to treat diseases throughout the body. These treatments are often same-day procedures and result in less pain and shorter recovery times. An IR procedure is performed by creating a tiny incision in the skin, then small instruments are inserted and guided to the specific organ using imaging to deliver treatment.
One very effective IR procedure is Uterine Fibroid Embolization to treat uterine fibroids.

There are many options to treat uterine fibroids. Every 1 in 5 women believe that getting a hysterectomy is the only treatment available. Surgery may not be necessary for most women. One common treatment is Uterine Fibroid Embolization, known as UFE.

Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE)

UFE is a minimally invasive IR procedure used to treat uterine fibroids. It is performed by creating a tiny incision in the skin (typically near the groin) and with real-time imaging, a catheter is guided into the uterine arteries. Tiny particles are then released to block the blood flow that supplies oxygen to the fibroids, which will cause them to shrink or disappear.
