What is IR?
Interventional Radiology
Interventional Radiology (IR) is a medical specialty that uses image-guided, minimally invasive procedures to diagnose and treat diseases. Using tiny instruments guided by imaging technology, IR specialists can treat conditions that once required open surgery.
IR treatments have become the primary method of care for a variety of conditions, offering less risk, less pain, and less recovery time compared to open surgery. Our board-certified specialists are at the forefront of these groundbreaking techniques.

Patient Stories
Why Choose IR Centers
I can’t believe I waited so long for something that was so easy to fix. Don’t hesitate to reach out. These people are amazing at what they do.
May T.Miami, FL I was really nervous, and the team couldn’t have been kinder or more helpful. They put me at ease, and I made such a good decision about my treatment. Highly recommend.
Jack F.Reston, VA I felt at ease knowing that my doctor is one of the most experienced in the country. I was in good hands, and my results are life-changing.
Sam R.Raleigh, NC The procedure is very simple, and the recovery is short. I was playing golf on the seventh day.
For the past decade, I have encountered many interruptions in my sleep due to going to the bathroom frequently. I thought that I was the only male with this problem. My urologist recommended Dr. Rachel Piechowiak to perform prostate arterial embolization. For the past 3 nights, I have slept through the night without interruptions. Dr. Piechowiak is amazing and very compassionate to her patients. Her knowledge and expertise with this procedure is unbeatable. I could not have imagined having a more positive experience with the procedure, and the outcomes truly surprised me. Why suffer in silence while looking for the nearest bathroom when there are excellent solutions available?
