Vascular Interventional Radiology

UT Southwestern's interventional radiologists perform more than 5,500 image-guided, minimally invasive surgeries annually. The field of interventional radiology developed in response to a growing need for image-guided procedures. As technology evolved, interventional radiologists innovated multiple minimally invasive alternatives to traditional open surgery and has become an essential clinical field.
