Interventional Radiology Dept.

Brief introduction

Interventional radiology is quickly developed in the late 1970, as a new diagnosis and treatment of discipline. It is under the guidance of medical imaging equipment, based on the imaging diagnosis and clinical diagnostics, combined with clinical therapeutic principle and the use of catheter, guide wire equipment for diagnosis and treatment of various diseases, as a minimally invasive discipline. Now, it has become the third major therapeutic discipline along with internal medicine and surgical therapy.


Most cancers today can be treated with interventional techniques, such as liver, lung, kidney and pelvic tumors. It can also treat some vascular diseases, such as vascular stenosis, vascular malformation, aneurysm, etc. And it can effectively rescue the massive bleeding caused by various reasons, such as hemoptysis, hematemesis, traumatic massive bleeding, etc. Interventional technology can also be widely used in the treatment of some benign diseases, such as uterine fibroids, hepatic hemangioma, tubal obstruction, liver and kidney cysts, hydronephrosis, obstructive jaundice and so on. Its therapeutic scope has covered all clinical disciplines, especially for some specific diseases, which is the preferred treatment method at present.


The Department of Interventional Radiology has six large vessel imaging machines, 1 CT machine, 3 sets of ultrasonic instrument and form a complete set of advanced equipment, interventional operating rooms, interventional clinic and 2 ward areas. It has a total of more than 50 beds, complete more than 4000 intervention operations per year on average, including nerve involvement, vascular interventional, tumor and non-vascular interventional therapy, etc. There are 2 professors and doctoral supervisors, 6 associate professors/associate chief physicians, 7 attending physicians, 3 in charge technicians and 26 nurses. Under the leadership of Prof. FENG Gansheng and Prof. ZHENG Chuansheng, after more than 30 years of unremitting efforts, it has become one of the major interventional therapy centers in China, and has a close scientific cooperation relationship with many universities overseas. A number of interventional therapy programs carried out by the center have reached the international level. Especially in the clinical development and application of vascular embolization materials, comprehensive interventional treatment of tumors and portal hypertension interventional treatment.
