Neurointerventional Surgery (also called interventional neuroradiology or NIR), is practiced by subspecialty-trained neuroradiologists, specializing in minimally invasive techniques for the diagnosis and treatment of conditions of the brain, head and neck, spine, and spinal cord. It involves catheters and radiology to diagnose and treat neurological conditions and diseases. These types of procedures are called “minimally invasive,” because they generally need only a tiny incision instead of a larger incision necessary for open surgery.

For patients, the benefits of neurointerventional surgery include smaller incisions, less risk, faster recovery, and less pain than traditional surgery. Our team provides neurointerventional surgical care for many conditions that previously were untreatable or required more invasive, open surgical techniques.

• Accurate image interpretation and diagnosis
• Patient-centered imaging
• Endovascular techniques that lower the risk to patients, shorten hospital stays, and hasten patient recovery
• State-of-the-art angiogram suites with the ability to produce the highest quality images to evaluate and treat cerebrovascular disorders
• Advanced procedures performed regularly
• Ongoing development of new diagnostic and endovascular treatments for disorders involving the blood vessels of the brain, head, neck, and spine

Midwest Radiology is available to patients 24/7. Whether you are a new patient, former patient, or a new patient seeking a consultation or second opinion, we look forward to hearing from you. If you are a candidate for open surgery or have a complex disease, consider exploring your treatment options with an interventional radiologist. Interventional radiology can be an especially appropriate choice for patients who are in weak health or have previously undergone numerous prior surgeries.
