Interventional Radiology

Swedish Hospital's interventional radiology services offer minimally invasive and noninvasive alternatives for cancer, osteoporosis, vascular disease, varicose veins and uterine fibroids. Interventional radiologists work in collaboration with your physician to provide the best care possible.

Many interventional radiology procedures have lower risk, pain and recovery time, can be performed on an outpatient basis, do not require general anesthesia, and may cost less than other alternatives.
