The Rise of Non-Vascular Interventional Radiology

Non-vascular interventional radiology encompasses a range of minimally invasive procedures that diagnose and treat diseases without requiring conventional surgery. Unlike its vascular counterpart, which deals with conditions related to blood vessels, NVIR focuses on organs and systems outside the vascular framework, such as the gastrointestinal tract, the urinary system, and the musculoskeletal system. Techniques involve the use of imaging guidance, including ultrasound, CT scans, and MRI, to perform precise interventions with less risk, discomfort, and recovery.
