UVA interventional radiology offers thyroid nodule ablation as a minimally invasive treatment option for benign thyroid nodules. Thyroid nodule ablation has been performed widely in countries outside of the US, and has been shown by many clinical trials to be a safe, effective, less invasive procedure for patients with clinical symptoms or cosmetic concerns. Interventional Radiology is one of the first in the US to offer thyroid nodule ablation using thermal energy, and it is now considered a top alternative treatment for benign thyroid nodules. The skilled interventional radiologists at UVA provide this procedure as a less-invasive, safe, effective option for patients who deal with symptoms from thyroid nodules, have cosmetic concerns, or who may not be eligible for traditional surgery.
