Catheter Embolization

An interventional radiologist and his team in the interventional radiology suite performing a catheter procedure. A close-up demonstration of the catheter entering the groin, and clinical images in the interventional suite and from the control room are shown. The interventional radiology suite looks similar to a traditional operating room, but the procedures performed in it are less invasive than open surgery.

Note: Images are shown for illustrative purposes. Do not attempt to draw conclusions or make diagnoses by comparing these images to other medical images, particularly your own. Only qualified physicians should interpret images; the radiologist is the physician expert trained in medical imaging.
