Veterinary IR Applications
Below you will find diseases that may be treatable by some of the Interventional Radiology techniques that are offered at the University of California – Davis Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital.
You can search based on the type of disease (obstruction, vascular or miscellaneous) or by body part/system. Other treatment options may be available.

- Benign Obstructions (non-cancer, non-malignant blockage of an organ)
- Malignant Obstructions (cancerous blockage of an organ)
- Non-Oncologic Vascular Procedures (techniques performed via a blood vessel to treat non-cancerous diseases)
- Oncologic Vascular Procedures (techniques performed via a blood vessel to treat cancer)
- Miscellaneous Procedures
