We offer the only interventional radiology program dedicated to infants, children and teens in northeast Ohio. With interventional radiology, we can sometimes eliminate the need for your child to undergo traditional surgery, thereby reducing risk, pain, scarring and recovery time.
Our pediatric interventional radiologist diagnoses and treats diseases and injuries in the least invasive way using different types of imaging machines - such as ultrasound, fluoroscopy and CT. The images help the doctor guide tiny instruments through the body to those hard-to-reach areas. With interventional radiology, our patients receive the lowest risk and least discomfort possible.
In general, all the image-guided techniques applied to adults can be performed in children, although the indications in children generally differ.
We use interventional radiology to:
Our dedicated interventional radiology suite allows us to provide more options for minimally invasive procedures in children with faster recovery times and less pain, risk and scarring than traditional surgery.
It features an angiography unit to examine blood vessels in even the tiniest patients and a cone-beam CT scanner for the most precise image-guided procedures.
Our goal is to provide the best image-guided treatment option for your child, while exposing him or her to the smallest amount of radiation necessary. We are trained in meeting the special medical and behavioral needs of children, and take every precaution to make sure your child is safe. We also work closely with your child’s primary care doctor and pediatric specialists to provide the best possible care.
