Interventional Radiology

It involves a range of imaging procedures to obtain images of the inside of the body. It is done through both diagnostic and therapeutic procedures using catheters.

Imaging of the Colon

It uses special x-ray equipment to examine the large intestine for cancer and growths. It includes virtual CT colonography and barium enema.

Nuclear Medicine Procedures

They are used to diagnose and treat certain illnesses and use radioactive materials for the same. The different nuclear medicine procedures are Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography [SPECT] Scans.

Breast Imaging

It is the representation of a breast’s form. There are different types of breast imaging techniques like mammography, breast ultrasound, breast MRI and digital imaging.

Fluoroscopy

It is a type of medical imaging that shows a continuous X-ray image on a monitor, much like an X-ray movie. X-rays are useful for obtaining real-time moving images of the interior of an object.

Computed Tomography (CT) Scans

They make use of computer-processed compounds of many X-ray measurements from different angles, producing cross-sectional images of specific areas of a scanned object.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)

Through this technique, pictures of the anatomy and the physiological processes of the body of a patient are produced for further speculation.

Plain film or digital X-ray imaging

Digital radiography uses x-ray–sensitive plates to capture data during the patient examination directly and transfers it to the computer immediately.

Biliary Drainage and Stenting

In this, our doctors use a stent to open blocked liver ducts of the patient, allowing bile to drain properly.

Bland Embolization

It is used to treat tumors that cannot be surgically removed in patients suffering from liver cancer and can be used in combination with chemotherapy.

Central Venous Access

It includes the placement of a small, flexible tube in a large vein in the chest or neck of the patients who need frequent injections for medication directly in the bloodstream.

Chemoembolization

It is delivered directly to the tumor, and it kills cancer cells with extreme cold. It is recommended as the primary step of treatment for cancers in the kidneys, liver, lungs, or prostate.

Embolization

It is used for the treatment of aneurysms, fibroid tumors, and bleeding. It can stop bleeding and shrink the size of the tumor.

Endovenous Ablation

This is a minimally invasive treatment for patients with varicose veins. It uses ultrasound imaging and a catheter to deliver laser or radiofrequency energy to the inside of the vein and seal it closed.

Gastrostomy

It is for patients who can’t take medication by mouth. In this, a catheter is inserted into the stomach or small intestine to deliver necessary fluids and medications.

Inferior Vena Cava Filter

It is for patients with Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)- a filter placed inside the inferior vena cava breaks up blood clots and prevent them from reaching the heart or lungs of the patients.

Microwave Ablation

Paracentesis

It is used for symptomatic relief or diagnostic testing to drain excess fluid from the body.

Radioembolization

It is used to deliver radiation therapy and an embolic agent directly into the blood vessel feeding a cancerous tumor for treating liver cancer.

It is used in the treatment of cancer when surgery is not possible for kidney, bone, lung, liver, and prostate cancers.

Stent and Graft Placement

It is done for patients having chronic kidney stones, narrowed or blocked blood vessels, a urinary tract obstruction, or renal vascular hypertension.

It is a treatment for the dissolution of blood clots to improve blood flow and prevent damage to organs and tissues.

TIPS (Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt)

It is a life-saving procedure that improves blood flow. It prevents haemorrhage through the use of a catheter at the site of portal hypertension or bile duct obstruction and inserting a stent in patients with liver diseases.

Tumour Ablation

It is a non-surgical way to treat cancer by using imaging technology to allow for precision in the heating and destruction of cancerous tissue.

Uterine Artery Embolization (UAE)

It is a minimally invasive treatment for uterine fibroids during which a catheter is used to inject embolic agents.

Varicocele Embolization

It is a non-surgical procedure that uses a catheter to divert blood away from a varicose vein in the scrotum.
