Interventional Radiology
Today many conditions that once required surgery can be treated nonsurgically through interventional radiology—a form of treatment that offers less risk, less pain and less recovery time compared to open surgery.
Saint Agnes is proud to employ the latest in interventional imaging systems—the Siemens Artis Zee®—which allows clinicians to produce even greater imaging results directly in the procedure room and minimize exposure to radiation.
