Abstract

Interventional uroradiology is management of urological diseases using minimally invasive techniques and imaging guidance.

Using ultrasound, CT, and fluoroscopy and small bore needles, catheters and wires, many urological conditions can be managed and treated including: focal and nonfocal renal biopsies, drainage of renal and perirenal collections, percutaneous nephrostomy and lithotripsy, ureteral stenting and embolization, and suprapubic tube placement.

Interventional uroradiology can be performed with conscious sedation with minimal risk of complications.
