Interventional Radiology Services
Interventional Radiology

Interventional radiology is an important sub-speciality field of radiology that involves minimally invasive procedures. Nepean Imaging radiologists both male and female have vast experience, passion and training in this increasing area of Radiology. Great care is taken to efficiently provide pain relief or biopsy diagnosis.


Needles used to perform biopsies and injections are chosen by Radiologists to optimise patient comfort and success of procedure. Imaging by highly qualified technicians is used to accurately guide the needle to the appropriate location for best results. Treatments can range from biopsies of lesions and suspected cancers to the drainage of cysts.


Interventional Radiology is being increasingly used for the treatment of sport injuries, repetitive wear and tear injuries and pain management.


When carried out with care and concern for patient welfare Interventional radiology ensures minimal discomfort and a rapid recovery, often avoiding or prolonging the need for surgery.
