Interventional Neuroradiology

Interventional neuroradiology is a specialised branch of medicine focused on diagnosing and treating conditions of the central nervous system using minimally invasive techniques. These procedures involves the use of advanced imaging technologies, such as angiography or fluoroscopy, to guide tiny instruments through blood vessels or other pathways to the brain or spine. This field addresses conditions like aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), strokes, tumour embolisation, thrombectomy to remove blood clots, or angioplasty to widen narrowed vessels. Interventional neuroradiology offers less invasive alternatives to traditional surgery, aiming to reduce risks, shorten recovery times and provide effective treatment for various neurological conditions.

The Interventional Neuroradiologist at Centre for Neurosurgery focuses on diagnosing and performing endovascular treatments for arterial and venous conditions specifically within the brain, head, neck, and spine.
