Compared to open surgery, interventional radiology provides less discomfort and pain, cuts down on recovery times and reduces risks for patients. Interventional radiology is also used in emergency settings to treat life-threatening embolisms and internal bleeding. This project at Abbotsford Regional Hospital and Cancer Centre, led in close partnership with physicians at the hospital and anticipated to be complete in early 2026, includes replacing aging interventional radiology equipment and renovations to the suite and surrounding rooms. New ceiling-mounted interventional radiology equipment will create a more functional, ergonomic workspace where staff, medical staff and equipment can work efficiently on all sides of the patient. People of all ages – particularly seniors at risk of complications from conventional surgery – are benefitting from interventional radiology.
