	Interventional Radiology-University of Colorado Denver Health Sciences Center
		Interventional Radiology is minimally invasive surgery for the 21st century
		Interventional Radiology is minimally invasive surgery performed with the use of image guidance (CT scans, ultrasounds, and x-rays).
		Interventional Radiology is less invasive than standard surgery because procedures are performed through small (millimeters) incisions made in the skin and the procedures are performed with the use of small catheters or tubes placed through the skin into the blood vessels and internal organs.

	Society Of Interventional Radiology - Patients and Public - What is interventional radiology?
		Interventional radiology procedures are an advance in medicine that often replace open surgical procedures.
		Interventional radiologists (IRs) use their expertise in reading X-rays, ultrasound and other medical images to guide small instruments such as catheters (tubes that measure just a few millimeters in diameter) through the blood vessels or other pathways to treat disease percutaneously (through the skin).
		Interventional radiologists invented angioplasty and the first catheter-delivered stent, what was first used in the legs, to save patients with vascular disease from amputation or other surgery.

	Interventional Radiology \| NYU Department of Radiology
		Interventional radiology is a medical field that combines tiny specialized instruments and devices with systems that form images of the body, to enable doctors to perform image-guided procedures.
		Interventional radiology first evolved in the 1960s, when angioplasty procedures were developed to treat blockages in arteries as an alternative to open surgical bypass.
		Interventional radiology is now used to treat blockages inside arteries and veins, to block off blood vessels that nourish tumors, destroy malignant tumors using focused heat and freezing, drain blocked organ systems such as the liver, gallbladder and kidney, and and perform biopsies that would otherwise require surgical exploration.
