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.

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.

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
Common PVD Conditions
Learn more about the most common PVD conditions which vary in progression, symptoms, diagnostics and treatment. Find out when to call a doctor and how patients are living with PVD today.
Artery Disease
PAD
Peripheral Artery Disease
PAD is a condition where plaque build-up causes a narrowing of the blood vessels. This in turn leads to atherosclerosis — a reduction of blood flow to the limbs.
Clotting Disease
DVT
Deep Vein Thrombosis
DVT is a serious, but preventable condition that occurs when a blood clot forms deep inside the veins.
Venous Disease
DVI
Deep Venous
Insufficiency
When veins have difficulty returning blood to the heart and become incompetent.
SVI
Superficial Venous Insufficiency
SVI is a condition when the veins become weak, large, and twisted due to valve damage and fluid overload.
Lymphedema
Lymphedema is a condition that affects the lymphatic vessels.
This results in swelling as fluid pools in the legs and feet. CVI diminishes the capacity of the venous system and it increases the workload for the lymphatic system in the affected area.10
