Interventional Radiology

Angiography (examination of the blood vessels and blood flow) and Interventional Radiology procedures are arranged via consultation between your Specialist/physician and a Radiologist.

• An appointment is required and will be made through your Specialist’s/ physician’s office.
• Your preparation instructions are available from the Specialist’s/physician’s office or the Medical Imaging Scheduling Office.
• Vascular procedures require that you visit the pre-admission clinic (PAC) before your procedure is done. Recovery time is usually required in the Medical Imaging Recovery Room after the procedure.
• Interventional procedures, ie. PICC lines, hemodialysis catheters, may or may not require recovery time, however you will be notified prior to your procedure if recovery time is required.
