Services

Specialised care and treatments offered

PET/CT SCAN IN ONCOLOGY

PET/CT Scan in Oncology

The combination of positron emission tomography (PET) with computed tomography (CT) creates a hybrid imaging modality that offers metabolic plus anatomical information critical in cancer management. It enhances detection sensitivity beyond conventional scans alone.

FLUOROSCOPY-GUIDED JOINT INJECTION

Fluoroscopy-Guided Joint Injection

The use of fluoroscopy allows visualization during joint injections ensuring accurate delivery of medication directly into affected areas such as the spine, hip, shoulder, or knee joints. This enhances therapeutic efficacy while minimizing risks.

  • Syndromes Treated: Commonly applied for arthritis pain relief, bursitis management, tendonitis treatment, and inflammation reduction within joints causing movement limitations.

  • Imaging Benefits: Real-time X-ray guidance confirms needle position inside complex joint spaces avoiding damage to nearby structures.
  • Medications Delivered: Steroids combined with anesthetics are deposited precisely where inflammation exists providing sustained relief.
  • Patient Experience: Typically outpatient procedure requiring local anesthetic with immediate post-injection monitoring.

Precision achieved through fluoroscopy-guided injections optimizes symptom control especially when conservative measures have failed without needing surgery.

MRI NEUROGRAPHY

MRI Neurography

MRI neurography is an advanced imaging modality specialized in visualizing peripheral nerves to diagnose nerve injuries and neuropathies. It provides detailed pictures without radiation exposure.

  • Nerve-related Symptoms: Patients experiencing unexplained pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness may benefit from this diagnostic tool to identify nerve compression or damage.
  • Imaging Technique: Uses high-resolution MRI sequences optimized to detect changes in nerve structure and surrounding tissues clearly.
  • Differential Diagnosis: Assists in distinguishing between nerve entrapment syndromes, tumors along nerves, infections, or inflammatory processes affecting nerves.
  • No Radiation Risk:

CT-GUIDED BIOPSY

CT-Guided Biopsy

A CT-guided biopsy enables precise tissue sampling from suspicious lesions deep within the body using computed tomography imaging. This aids in accurate diagnosis while minimizing invasiveness.

  • Causative Factors/Symptoms: Lesions detected incidentally or during symptom evaluation often require histological confirmation via biopsy.
  • Diagnostic Process: CT imaging identifies the exact lesion location and guides needle placement during the procedure in real-time.
  • Treatment Utility: Provides essential information on malignancy type, infection presence, or other pathology to direct optimal care plans.
  • Pain and Recovery: Local anesthesia numbs the site; most patients experience minimal discomfort with quick recovery times.

This technique helps increase diagnostic accuracy with fewer complications compared to open surgical biopsies, making it a preferred choice when feasible.

DIGITAL SUBTRACTION ANGIOGRAPHY (DSA)

Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA)

Digital subtraction angiography is an advanced imaging technique used to visualize blood vessels in great detail. It plays a vital role in diagnosing vascular diseases and planning interventions.

  • Symptoms/Indications: Patients with suspected vascular blockages, aneurysms, or malformations may require DSA for clear vessel mapping.
  • Procedure Overview: Contrast dye is injected into blood vessels while X-ray images are taken; subtraction processing removes bone and tissue shadows for clarity.
  • Treatment Planning: Helps determine feasibility of angioplasty, stenting, or embolization therapies based on vessel anatomy.
  • User Experience: Usually performed under mild sedation; brief procedure duration with close monitoring for contrast allergies.

The detailed vascular images obtained guide targeted treatments that can prevent strokes, hemorrhages, or other serious complications effectively.

INTERVENTIONAL RADIOLOGY FOR TUMOR ABLATION

Interventional Radiology for Tumor Ablation

Minimally invasive tumor ablation is a powerful option for treating certain cancers without large incisions or general anesthesia. It uses image guidance to precisely target and destroy tumors.

  • Symptoms and Causes: Tumors causing localized pain or abnormal organ function can be candidates; usually detected by imaging scans.
  • Diagnostic Tools: Ultrasound, CT, or MRI help locate the tumor and assess its size and relation to surrounding tissues.
  • Treatment Options: Techniques include radiofrequency ablation (RFA), microwave ablation (MWA), and cryoablation, each destroying tumor cells by heat or cold.
  • Management: Typically outpatient procedures with sedation; follow-up imaging assesses treatment success.
  • Expectations: Reduced recovery time compared to surgery, potential side effects are minimal but can include mild pain or swelling.

This approach offers an effective alternative for patients unsuitable for conventional surgery, improving outcomes through precision and reduced invasiveness.
