What is Interventional Radiology?

Interventional Radiology identifies and treats diseases in almost all organ systems through the use of minimally-invasive procedures.

Our diagnosis and treatment process is simple.

Imaging scans of your body are taken and act as a roadmap — shining light on abnormalities and illnesses. But unlike traditional surgery, large incisions are not needed to tend to disorders. Instead, small medical instruments — such as needles and catheters — are guided by the previously mentioned scans to treat specific problem areas.

Think of Interventional Radiology as a step up from traditional surgery. Its procedures are less risky and are often more effective than traditional methods. Other benefits include lowered costs, less recovery time, greater comfort, and a quicker path to living your best life.

At X-Ray Associates of New Mexico (XRANM), your safety and comfort are our top priorities. If you have any questions about Interventional Radiology, call one of our offices near you to speak with our friendly staff and team of expert radiologists.

Don’t gamble with your health. Schedule a personal appointment with X-Ray Associates of New Mexico for your Interventional Radiology needs today.

Interventional Radiology Cases

Arterial Disease

Whether you’re going for a morning walk or hurrying to your workplace, there may be times when your legs experience bouts of discomfort. But before you write it off as normal soreness, you may want to examine it further.

Because it could be a sign of Peripheral Arterial Disease — an underdiagnosed condition with very serious consequences. In fact, Peripheral Arterial Disease (if untreated) can even lead to amputation of the affected area.

At X-Ray Associates of New Mexico, our team of radiologists fully understand the dangers of PAD. That’s why we provide screenings with the goal of catching and treating the condition before it takes control over your life.

Venous Disease

Think of your arteries and veins as expansive highways that direct blood to and from your heart. Now imagine a huge traffic jam caused by a pileup of blood in your legs. Not too pleasant of a sight, is it? But that’s what venous insufficiency is — a condition involving a pooling of blood in the legs due to blood being unable to return to the heart.

At X-Ray Associates of New Mexico, our radiologists know the dangers of venous diseases all too well. That’s why a simple visit to one of XRANM locations in the Santa Fe and Albuquerque areas can lead to the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of venous insufficiency.

The threat of cancer lies in the back of every person’s mind. Each visit to the doctor’s office can fill you with worry and anxiety. And it may all lead up to the split second when your physician feels something abnormal during a checkup.

If (god forbid) that moment occurs, how will you proceed?

At X-Ray Associates of New Mexico, we understand your plight — providing clear answers with our image-guided biopsy procedures. Apart from our preventative and diagnosis procedures, we also specialize in chemotherapy and dialysis treaments.

PVD Categories & Condition

Peripheral Vascular Disease (PVD) is a complex disease which affects the anatomy and physiology of the legs. During diagnosis, a physician will try to assess the cause and extent of damage to the peripheral system. Conditions may occur singularly or in a combination.

  • Anatomical Change – Effects to structures of the body: artery damage, vein damage, valve insufficiency
  • Physiological Changes  – Effects on how the body works: healing issues, drainage issues, blood flow issues, clotting of the blood
