Interventional Radiology offers many benefits:

Interventional radiology (IR) is a cutting-edge medical specialty that uses advanced imaging techniques—such as X-rays and ultrasound —to guide minimally invasive procedures. This approach allows physicians to diagnose and treat various medical conditions with precision, often eliminating the need for traditional surgery.

Interventional radiology represents a leap forward in patient care, combining innovation, expertise, and technology to provide effective treatments with minimal disruption to your life.

Minimally invasive

IR procedures require only small incisions or no incisions at all, reducing pain and recovery time compared to conventional surgery.

Shorter Recovery

Most patients can return to their normal activities much faster, with many procedures performed on an outpatient basis.

Precision and Safety

Guided by real-time imaging, IR ensures accurate targeting of problem areas, minimizing damage to surrounding tissues.

Broad Applications

From treating cancer with targeted therapies to managing vascular conditions, IR offers solutions across a wide range of medical needs.

Reduced Risks

With fewer complications, less bleeding, and lower infection rates, IR is often a safer alternative to open surgery.

Patient Testimonials

“When we first learned that my husband needed a Diagnostic Cerebral Angiogram to monitor the impact of his medication on reducing artery blockage in his brain, we turned to a trusted source. Upon moving to Knoxville 10 years ago, we had one physician that we watched on television who helped identify the best specialists in the area – Dr. Bob Overholt.

We searched the archives of the Dr. Bob Show and discovered episodes with Dr. Keith Woodward, a renowned interventional radiologist with Vista Radiology. Upon reaching out to his office, we were initially dreading the visit because of the construction and parking limitations in the downtown area; however, we discovered that they were opening a new interventional care center near our home.

The facility is wonderful. It is convenient to our home and offers easy to access patient parking. The staff were so friendly and helpful. We were especially impressed with Dr. Woodward. My husband likes to tell stories and Dr. Woodward listened patiently and was so kind to him.

It’s odd to say it – but it’s definitely a place that we want to go back to!”
