We are a group of like-minded Interventional Radiologists. We believe in providing world class minimally invasive treatment options to our patients.

We use imaging guidance such as X-ray, ultrasound and CT scan to perform minimally invasive therapies. Through a tiny nick in the skin, miniature catheters and instruments can be run through a patient's network of arteries, veins, or other pathways to treat directly at the site of illness internally.

Most procedures are performed under local anaesthetic, however intravenous sedation and pain control may be required in some procedures. Interventional Radiology is generally associated with low complication rates, and the recovery period is usually shorter than when open surgery is performed. Many conditions that once required surgery can now be treated non-surgically by Interventional Radiologists.
