No call required.
Summary: The MRI nurse is responsible for the care and management of patients undergoing routine and urgent imaging in MRI. Imaging is commonly done for postoperative and neurological patients.
The Interventional Radiology Division offers the diagnosis and treatment of a variety of diseases using minimally invasive techniques. Many conditions that previously required traditional open surgery can now be treated with small catheters or other devices guided by radiologic imaging, allowing for a faster recovery, and a less costly procedure.
Conditions treated include:
• Acute and chronic deep vein thrombosis
• Diseases of the lymphatic system
• Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia (HHT)
• Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations
• Endoleaks from abdominal aortic aneurysms
• Cancer (liver, kidney, bone and lung)
• Peripheral arterial disease/critical limb ischemia (CLI)
• Vascular malformations/varicose and spider veins
• Women's health conditions (eg. uterine fibroids, pelvic congestion syndrome)
• Hemodialysis access dysfunction
Here are a few of the minimally invasive techniques used:
• Liver directed tumor therapy (chemoembolization/radioembolization/tumor ablation)
• Uterine artery embolization (UAE)
• Varicocele embolization
• Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunts
• IVC filter placement/complex IVC filter removal
• DVT thrombolysis
• Laser ablation for varicose veins
• Arterial revascularization
Care of the patient pre, intra and post procedure
Common procedures include: vascular access placement, drain placement/exchange, angiography, lymphangiograms, embolizations, ablations, biopsies, liver-directed therapies, adrenal vein sampling, venous recanalization, and radiation therapy.

MISSION & VISION As part of the Cohen Veterans Network, our mission is to support the quality of life of veterans and military families. We envision a world where all veterans and military family members have access to high-quality mental health care that enables them to live fulfilling, productive lives. WHAT WE DO The Cohen Clinic at Penn provides confidential evidence-based mental health care for veterans and their families -- at no cost and with no long waits. WHO WE SERVE We serve post-9/11 veterans -- including those from the National Guard and Reserves -- regardless of discharge status,... role in uniform, or combat experience. When we have the capacity, we can serve pre-9/11 veterans. We also serve family members including veteran family members and military families (National Guard, Reserves, active duty). We are not able to provide individual therapy services to active duty service members at this time. However, we can and do work with current members members of the National Guard and Reserves. Family members include parents, spouses/partners, children, siblings, caregivers, and others affected by the individual's military service.
