Vascular & Interventional Radiology

Interventional radiologists diagnose and treat disease through the use of narrow tubes (catheters) and imaging, often eliminating the need for more complicated surgery.

The VIR offers full services in virtually every facet of vascular and interventional procedures, ranging from the evaluation of peripheral vascular disease and tumors, to thromobolytic therapy and balloon angioplasty, to vena cava filter.

The University of Southern California has a number of doctorate-level scientists in radiation physics, radiation biology, and radiation safety.
