title: Current topics of interest in interventional radiology.
abstract: Interventional Radiology utilizes imaging guidance (primarily fluoroscopy, computed tomography and ultrasound) to perform diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in a minimally invasive manner. This update highlights several current and newer interventional radiology options for treatment of uterine fibroids, interventional oncology procedures for liver tumors and metastatic disease, varicose vein treatment, carotid stenting, cerebral aneurysm coiling, and removable inferior vena cava (IVC) filters.
