The UAB Medicine Interventional Radiology team includes nationally and internationally recognized IR physicians, along with physician assistants, who strive to make excellence in patient care their highest priority. You will need to continue to drink fluids for the first 24 hours after your procedure, unless your physician has limited your fluid intake. After the procedure, a nurse will bandage your incision and you will be on bed rest for at least six hours. When the new Interventional Radiology Suite opens next month at the University of Mississippi Medical Center, already stellar care will be enhanced by the latest technology in a spacious and inviting treatment area. They will be greeted in a comfortable, modern waiting area, then escorted to the IR Suite. Treatment takes place in one of six procedure rooms; before that, patients will wait in their own pre-procedure space equipped with cutting-edge monitoring equipment. Treatment requires one or all of multiple components that include pre-procedure evaluations, procedure rooms, post-procedure recovery, rooms where providers read scans, and multiple staff work areas. This dedicated space gives patients an opportunity to sit with one of UAB Medicine’s IR experts to discuss their treatment options, undergo a thorough pre-procedure evaluation, and receive dedicated post-procedure follow-up care.
