Interventional Radiology

Paoli Hospital in the Philadelphia suburbs now offers the most advanced technology available to diagnose and treat complex medical conditions without major surgery. Our dedicated Interventional Radiology Suite houses the Philadelphia area's most sophisticated and technologically superior imaging system providing enhanced diagnosis, treatment planning and improved therapeutic interventions. The system's high level of quality and detailed images offer patients safe, effective alternatives to surgery. 

Interventional radiology combines the technology of powerful imaging equipment with the skill of specially trained physicians who guide narrow tubes and other very small instruments through blood vessels and other pathways to the precise location of a problem. These procedures require only a small incision, which benefits patients by causing less pain, less risk and less surgical scarring, resulting in a shorter recovery period than with traditional surgery. Most procedures are performed on an outpatient basis.

Major Conditions Now Easily Treated

Our fully digital system enables physicians to capture and view detailed 3-D images, resulting in faster and more accurate diagnosis and treatment of common conditions, including:

• Peripheral vascular disease 
• Uterine fibroid tumors 
• Carotid artery disease
• Varicose veins 
• Deep vein thrombosis
• Vertebral compression fractures 

Patients benefit from the speed and superior image accuracy of this new imaging system. They are out of the procedure room faster and on their way to recovery and discharge much sooner. This also means less radiation exposure for patients. The multifunctional system can be used for these and other procedures:

• Arteriography
• Stenting
• Balloon angioplasty
• Vertebroplasty
• Embolization
