Radiology technologies such as X-ray and ultrasound have been used for many years to identify medical problems. Today, these technologies are increasingly used for treatment as well as diagnosis, through the practice of interventional radiology (also known as angiography) – a medical specialty in which x-ray and ultrasound technologies are used to guide catheters and other tiny instruments into arteries and other parts of the body to treat conditions that once required surgery.
The Interventional Radiology Lab provides care to both the acute inpatient population as well as the elective outpatient population. Care is primarily provided within the Cardiovascular Lab located on the 4th floor of the Pruyn Pavilion at Glens Falls Hospital. Staff is available 24/7 for any emergency procedure during off hours, weekends, and holidays. Care is provided through an interdisciplinary team of specialized physicians, registered clinical nurses and registered radiology technologists.
