Interventional and Vascular Imaging

The Vascular and Interventional Radiology Program at UT Southwestern Medical Center uses the latest imaging technologies to conduct more than 3,000 innovative, minimally invasive surgeries each year. These procedures typically present fewer risks and shorter recovery times.

We specialize in using vascular and interventional imaging techniques to diagnose and treat a variety of cardiovascular disorders, including peripheral vascular disease, aortic and peripheral aneurysms, deep vein thrombosis, varicose veins, and circulation dysfunctions in the liver, kidneys, and intestines.

Along with standard computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), our Program provides advanced procedures and technologies, including:

  • Angiography, which produces pictures of the inside of blood vessels
  • Angioplasty and stenting
  • Chemoembolization
  • Magnetic resonance angiography
  • Radiofrequency ablation, a tumor-destroying technique that is an alternative to surgery in some cases
  • SIR-Spheres for liver cancer treatment
  • Uterine fibroid embolization
  • Varicose vein ablation

These technologies allow our physicians to visualize the internal organs while performing surgeries with minimal disruption to your body and overall functionality.
