Welcome to Specialist IR Services
Specialist Interventional Radiology Services © provides minimally invasive surgical procedures including embolisation, ablation, angiography, angioplasty, and endovascular surgery in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
ABOUT INTERVENTIONAL RADIOLOGY
Interventional Radiology (IR) is a medical specialty that focusses on minimally invasive treatments. Utilising imaging guidance such as x-ray fluoroscopy, ultrasound and CT, operations are typically performed through small "pinhole" incisions with short recovery times. A typical Interventional Radiology procedure will involve passing small instruments such as needles, wires and catheters under imaging guidance into the target area of the body to deliver precise treatment. As the pioneers of angiography and angioplasty since the 1960s, Interventional Radiologists (IRs) have brought countless new minimally invasive procedures to patients and the medical community, many of which are now the mainstay of treatment for a range of conditions.
COMPREHENSIVE CLINICAL SERVICE
All patients referred to Specialist Interventional Radiology Services© are consulted in our Outpatient Clinic Service, and cared for throughout the duration of their pre-procedure, post-procedure and follow up periods. Our Interventional Radiologists (IRs) practice modern patient-centred care and shared decision making, to ensure that the best individual treatment decisions are made for every patient. If an IR procedure or endovascular surgery is most appropriate, this will be arranged including the admission, operation, and follow-up care. If an IR procedure or endovascular surgery is not the best option, the consulting IR will ensure that the appropriate care is facilitated, which may be conservative management or referral to another specialist.
LOCATIONS
Our Specialist Interventional Radiologists (IRs) work at multiple public and private locations across Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
