Welcome to Kinetic Interventional and Vascular Therapeutics (KIVT), where cutting-edge medical technology meets compassionate, patient-centred care. Led by Dr Brendon May, a highly experienced Interventional Radiologist, we specialise in minimally invasive, image-guided procedures that offer low-risk alternatives to traditional surgery.
Interventional Radiology (IR) is a medical specialty that uses advanced imaging - such as X-ray, ultrasound, and CT - to perform intricate procedures, used to treat a wide range of conditions. It is often referred to as the surgical arm of radiology. IR procedures typically result in smaller incisions, less pain, and faster recovery times, allowing you to return to your daily life sooner.

Our Specialised Services
Most interventional radiology procedures are covered by private hospital insurance, however coverage varies depending on your individual policy and level of coverage. Also some specialised equipment may not be subsidised and could result in an out-of-pocket expense. We are happy to provide the appropriate MBS item numbers for each procedure, so that you can discuss coverage and any excesses with your health insurer before proceeding.
​
Patients without private health insurance may choose to fund their treatment privately. However, even minimally invasive procedures with a low risk of complications can occasionally require additional treatment, emergency surgery or an extended hospital stay. Without appropriate insurance, these unexpected costs can be substantial and should be carefully considered before proceeding with private treatment.
