What is an interventional radiology?
Interventional radiology uses imaging such as ultrasound, X-ray or CT to guide a needle or thin tube for a procedure. Common examples are steroid injections into joints, biopsies, drain placements and some vascular treatments. InsideRadiology (RANZCR): Interventional radiology
Referral
Procedures are booked on referral from a doctor, specialist or, for some injections, a physiotherapist under ACC. The clinic will check blood-thinning medicines and allergies beforehand.
Time and preparation
A simple image-guided injection takes 15 to 30 minutes. Biopsies and vascular procedures take longer and may need a recovery period or someone to drive you home.
Who pays
Many procedures are ACC-funded after an injury, publicly funded when referred through a hospital, or paid by insurance or self-funded privately.
