Pikeville Medical Center (PMC) is proud to offer 24/7 Interventional Radiology (IR) services, providing patients with advanced, minimally invasive procedures using real-time imaging technology such as ultrasound, CT, x-ray, and MRI.
Led by board-certified interventional radiologists Dr. Steven Krohmer, Dr. William Coulter, and Dr. Weiping Wang, PMC’s IR team specializes in diagnosing and treating complex conditions with precision and care. Nurse practitioners Trevor Jones and Jason Jude support the team in delivering consistent, expert-level care.
IR procedures are typically performed on an outpatient basis, meaning patients often experience less pain, fewer complications, and quicker recovery times compared to
traditional surgery. This makes interventional radiology an increasingly preferred option for both physicians and patients.
PMC is one of the few hospitals in Eastern Kentucky with full-time interventional radiologists on staff—an important advantage for patients requiring urgent or highly specialized care close to home.
Interventional radiology is especially valuable in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer, vascular disease, and chronic pain. One of the most common IR procedures is a biopsy, where imaging guidance is used to insert a small needle to collect a tissue sample for testing.
In addition to cancer diagnostics, PMC’s IR team provides a broad range of services, including port catheter placement, dialysis access, varicose vein treatment, joint injections, uterine fibroid embolization, and more.
PMC’s interventional radiologists work closely with primary care physicians and specialists throughout the region to ensure patients receive coordinated, comprehensive care.
