The Vascular/Interventional section is staffed by CAQ certified interventionalists. The Section provides services to the University Medical Center, The Veterans Hospital, and Kino Community Hospital.

UMC is a 350-bed tertiary care center with a Level-1 trauma center, a world renown Cancer Center, and transplant services that include heart, liver and kidney. The Interventional section performs over 2600 exams per year.

Nonvascular interventions including CT/Fluoro and US guided biopsies and drainages are also performed thru Interventional Radiology. The Interventional section has admitting privileges for in-patient management (i.e., intra-arterial chemoembolizations and uterine artery embolizations). In collaboration with Vascular Surgery, it has recently begun an aortic stent-graft program. UMC Radiology has just undergone extensive expansion and improvement with new MRI units, Helical CT scanners, and state-of-the-art, digital angiography suites on line.
