Uterine Fibroid Embolism Video-1

Uterine Fibroid Embolism and Interventional Radiology (Part 1)

Radiologists are known for looking inside the body to diagnose health problems. And now, many of these same doctors now use advanced

imaging equipment, not just to diagnose, but also to treat a wide range of problems. In this program, you'll learn how interventional

radiologists use minimally invasive techniques to help people with many conditions, including uterine fibroids and cancer.

Part One:
What is interventional radiology (IR)?
Technological advances to see inside the body
Overview of conditions that can be treated with IR
SIR-Spheres treatment for liver cancer
Radio frequency ablation for tumors
