What is Iridology ? Iridology is the inspection of the iris of the eye as an aid in determining a persons state of health. The iris contains many nerve endings which are connected to the optic nerve, the base of the brain, and all of the bodily tissues.
Interventional radiology (IR): Interventional radiologists employ image guidance methods to gain access to the deep interstices of most organs and organ systems. Through a galaxy of techniques, they can treat certain conditions percutaneously (through the skin) that might otherwise require surgery. (The technology includes the use of balloons, catheters, microcatheters, stents, therapeutic embolization (deliberately clogging up a blood vessel), etc.) The specialty of interventional radiology is growing and becoming increasingly diverse.
