Image-Guided Interventional Therapies.
Image-guided interventions are performed using small or no incisions making them minimally invasive techniques. There are many advantages to image-guided interventions including: shorter hospital stays and recovery times, reduced complications, treatment for conditions with no other available options, and reduction in risks to pets compared to conventional therapies.
