Interventional Neuroradiology

Interventional Neuroradiology is a medical specialty that diagnoses and treats vascular diseases of the brain, spinal cord, and nervous system using minimally invasive techniques guided by advanced imaging methods. Imaging technologies such as angiography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and computed tomography (CT) are used to examine vascular structures in detail and perform treatment through the blood vessels.

Using thin catheters inserted through the groin or wrist vessels, specialists can reach the affected vessels and perform treatment without major surgical incisions. This method allows conditions such as brain aneurysms, vascular occlusions, arteriovenous malformations (AVM), and stroke to be treated with less traumatic procedures.

At Özel Algomed Hastanesi, diagnostic and treatment services are provided using advanced imaging technologies and minimally invasive techniques.

The Department of Interventional Neuroradiology diagnoses and treats:
