Overview of Specialty
The Department of Interventional Radiology at Yashoda Medicity and Yashoda Super Speciality Hospital, Kaushambi, specialises in minimally invasive procedures performed under advanced image guidance, including Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA), Fluoroscopy, Ultrasound, CT, and MRI.

These procedures often replace conventional surgery, offering smaller incisions, less pain, faster recovery, and fewer complications. Most interventions are performed under local anaesthesia with mild sedation, keeping individuals comfortable throughout.

Advantages of Interventional Radiology

• Smaller incisions, often only a needle puncture

• Minimal pain and scarring

• Shorter hospital stay

• Faster recovery and return to normal activities

• Lower risk of complications and infection
