Interventional Radiology

Image-Guided Care for Vascular Malformations, Tumors and Complex Pediatric Conditions

A procedure for your child comes with many decisions. Our interventional radiology experts offer straightforward information and a carefully coordinated approach to support your family every step of the way.   

You want clarity and our team is here to guide you with a thoughtful, personalized care plan and clear answers to any questions you may have about safety, pain, and recovery.

Our team uses advanced imaging like ultrasound, CT and MRI to guide procedures with precision. This helps us diagnose and treat conditions such as vascular malformations (abnormal blood vessels), infections that need drainage, and tumors that require biopsies or targeted treatment. 

We also perform joint injections, angiography, and specialized procedures for children with complex conditions like spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). In many treatments, we use small tools instead of open surgery. This means less pain and faster recovery time for your child. We care for patients from newborns to adults with lifelong conditions.

State-of-the-Art Technology, Personalized Care

Nationally Recognized Expertise

Our team includes globally recognized experts with vast experience handling complex cases. Families travel from across the United States and around the world for our care. We treat about 2,500 to 3,000 patients each year, building deep experience across many conditions.

Advanced Imaging and Treatments

We use leading tools like 3D imaging and low-dose technology to guide patient care. Treatments include:

• embolization to control blood flow
• sclerotherapy for vascular malformations
• angioplasty to open narrowed vessels
• biopsies to diagnose tumors or organ conditions like liver disease

We also place drains for infections and perform joint injections to reduce pain. Plus, many procedures require only small tools and imaging, allowing us to avoid open surgery, helping your child heal faster.

Coordinated, Personalized Care

Your child’s care team works together to create one clear plan. We partner with many specialties across the hospital to treat the whole child. Our team-based care helps reduce delays and keeps care organized.

Support from Start to Finish

Our dedicated IR team will help manage appointments and answer any of your questions. Many procedures can be scheduled in advance, including some without general anesthesia. We also offer other options like telehealth when appropriate, making care even easier to access.
