An interventional radiologist is a physician who specializes in minimally invasive, image-guided procedures. Instead of making a traditional surgical incision, an interventional radiologist uses ultrasound, X-ray and other live imaging to guide small instruments through a tiny access point to diagnose or treat a condition.

Interventional radiology can be used to treat a wide range of conditions, including vascular disease as well as certain joint and sports-related conditions. Dr. Valenson has 12 years of experience using image-guided techniques to provide minimally invasive care.

Embolization is a minimally invasive procedure that uses image guidance to deliver tiny particles or other materials through a small catheter to intentionally reduce or block abnormal blood flow to a targeted area.

Dr. Valenson has specialized expertise in embolization and uses the technique to treat a growing range of conditions. Depending on the patient, that may include vascular conditions, varicocele and certain joint or sports-related conditions. Because treatment is targeted and performed through a small access point, embolization can offer an alternative to more invasive procedures for some patients.

Yes. Dr. Valenson provides minimally invasive, image-guided embolization treatments for certain joint and sports-related conditions including, knee OA, frozen shoulder, plantar fasciitis, and more. These treatments are designed to target abnormal blood flow associated with inflammation and pain while avoiding traditional surgery.

Whether embolization is appropriate depends on the underlying cause of your pain, your medical history and previous treatments. A consultation can help determine whether you are a candidate.

Your first visit is about understanding what is actually causing your symptoms and what options may be available.

Dr. Valenson reviews your medical history, discusses your symptoms and performs any imaging or diagnostic evaluation needed to understand the problem. He then explains what he sees and walks you through the appropriate treatment options, including the benefits, risks and alternatives.

The goal is not simply to recommend a procedure. It is to help you make a confident, informed decision about your care.

Many of Dr. Valenson's minimally invasive, image-guided procedures are performed on an outpatient basis at the Webster clinic. Most do not require general anesthesia, and patients typically return home the same day.

Your recovery and activity restrictions depend on the specific procedure. Dr. Valenson and his team will explain what to expect before treatment, including how soon you can return to work, exercise and other normal activities.
