Interventional Radiology (IR) uses advanced imaging guidance to perform minimally invasive procedures that diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions. These procedures often provide an alternative to traditional surgery, resulting in less pain, smaller incisions, shorter recovery times, and faster return to normal activities.
At Sol Radiology, our board-certified, fellowship-trained interventional radiologists use ultrasound, CT, fluoroscopy, and advanced imaging technology to perform precise, image-guided procedures with exceptional accuracy and compassionate patient care. AI-enhanced imaging supports procedural planning and diagnostic confidence while every treatment is guided by the expertise of our physicians.
Most Interventional Radiology procedures are performed using local anesthesia with sedation when appropriate. Your physician will explain the procedure, answer your questions, and provide detailed instructions before and after your appointment. Most patients return home the same day.

Interventional Radiology (IR) is a medical specialty that uses advanced imaging guidance, such as ultrasound, CT, and fluoroscopy, to perform minimally invasive procedures. These procedures often provide an alternative to traditional surgery, resulting in less pain, smaller incisions, and faster recovery.
Many Interventional Radiology procedures are performed using local anesthesia with or without light sedation. Your physician will discuss your procedure, answer your questions, and explain what to expect before your appointment.
Preparation varies depending on the type of procedure. You may be asked to avoid eating or drinking for several hours beforehand or temporarily stop certain medications. Our team will provide detailed instructions before your appointment to help ensure a safe and successful procedure.
The length of your visit depends on the procedure being performed. Most appointments, including preparation and recovery time, may take up to two to three hours. Your care team will let you know what to expect when your procedure is scheduled.
