CARTI offers the most advanced interventional radiology services in the state. Our interventional radiologists Dr. David Hays and Dr. Edgar St. Amour utilize minimally invasive image-guided procedures to diagnose and treat cancers in nearly every organ system. These interventional radiology specialists perform a wide range of procedures on tumors both malignant and benign, and, in comparison to open surgery, these procedures have less risk, less pain and less recovery time.
By using advanced imaging in the form of ultrasound, X-rays, CT scans and MRI scans, interventional radiologists are able to see inside a patient’s body and treat complex conditions less invasively and with incredible precision.
Interventional radiology procedures include:
- Paracentesis
- Embolization
- Y-90 radioembolization
- Ablation
- Thoracentesis
- CT- and ultrasound-guided biopsies
- Placement of central venous lines, peripheral intravenous lines and Kopans needle localizations
