Services
Specialised care and treatments offered
INTERVENTIONAL RADIOLOGY PROCEDURES
This branch involves minimally invasive techniques guided by imaging modalities like ultrasound, CT, or fluoroscopy. Interventional radiology provides alternatives to open surgery with faster recovery times for various conditions including vascular diseases and tumors.
-
Symptoms/Causes:
: Suitable for patients needing biopsies,
vascular stenting,
drainage procedures,
or tumor ablations.
- Diagnosis: : Imaging guides needle placement precisely ensuring targeted intervention.
- Treatment/Management: : These minimally invasive treatments reduce complications hospital stay and improve outcomes compared with traditional techniques.
- What To Expect: : Procedures usually done under local anesthesia requiring short recovery periods; patient cooperation during imaging ensures safety.
- Diagnosis: : Imaging guides needle placement precisely ensuring targeted intervention.
The integration of advanced imaging with therapeutic procedures enables highly tailored care maximizing benefits while minimizing risks. p>
PEDIATRIC ULTRASOUND
Pediatric ultrasound uses sound waves to create images inside children's bodies without radiation exposure. It helps evaluate organs like the abdomen, hips, brain (in infants), and blood vessels safely in young patients who require careful monitoring.
- Symptoms/causes: Applied when detecting congenital anomalies, infections, fluid collections, or developmental issues common in children and infants.
- Diagnosis: Produces real-time visualizations allowing assessment of organ structure and blood flow using Doppler ultrasound when needed.
- Treatment/management: Findings assist pediatricians in determining appropriate medical management or surgical referral if required.
- What to expect: The procedure is painless and usually quick; infants may need soothing techniques such as feeding during scanning.
Pediatric ultrasound offers a gentle yet effective way to monitor child health while avoiding unnecessary radiation risks. p>
FLUOROSCOPY
Fluoroscopy is a dynamic imaging technique that provides real-time moving X-ray images allowing observation of internal organs during diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. It assists in guiding catheter placements, swallowing studies, and joint injections among others.
- Symptoms/causes: Utilized when continuous visualization aids in assessing gastrointestinal function or vascular flow abnormalities.
- Diagnosis: Involves using fluorescent screens coupled with X-rays generating live video-like images during procedures.
- Treatment/management: Commonly guides minimally invasive surgeries ensuring accurate device positioning and reducing risks.
- What to expect:The exam duration varies depending on the specific application; patients may need contrast agents orally or intravenously prior to imaging.
This tool enhances both diagnostic accuracy and safety by providing instant feedback during interventions requiring precise control.
MAMMOGRAPHY SCREENING
Mammography is a specialized X-ray imaging technique used primarily for early detection of breast cancer. It plays a vital role in screening asymptomatic women and evaluating breast changes or lumps.
- Symptoms/causes: Screening tool aimed at detecting malignancies before symptoms appear; also assesses palpable breast masses or nipple discharge.
- Diagnosis: Uses low-dose X-rays to capture detailed images of breast tissue structure identifying calcifications or abnormal growths.
- Treatment/management: Mammograms enable early diagnosis leading to more effective treatment outcomes such as surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy as needed.
- What to expect: The procedure takes about 15-30 minutes involving compression of the breast between plates; some discomfort may occur but is brief.
This screening method significantly reduces mortality from breast cancer through timely identification and intervention.
MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING (MRI)
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) utilizes strong magnetic fields and radio waves to create detailed images of organs and tissues without radiation exposure. It is particularly useful for soft tissue evaluation including brain, spine, joints, and more.
- Symptoms/causes: Recommended for unexplained neurological symptoms, joint injuries, or monitoring chronic disease progression.
- Diagnosis: Produces high-contrast images that help visualize abnormalities invisible on X-rays or CT scans.
- Treatment/management: Does not treat but directs optimal therapy by revealing the extent and nature of medical issues.
- What to expect: The patient lies inside a cylindrical magnet during the 20-60 minute scan; noise-canceling headphones may be provided due to scanner sounds.
MRI offers essential insights with no ionizing radiation exposure, making it safe for repeated use when necessary.
COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY (CT) SCAN
A Computed Tomography (CT) scan is an advanced imaging technique that combines multiple X-ray measurements to produce detailed cross-sectional images of the body. It helps in diagnosing a variety of internal conditions by providing clear visuals of bones, organs, and soft tissues.
- Symptoms/causes: Used for investigating symptoms such as persistent pain, suspected tumors, fractures, or infections.
- Diagnosis: Employs rotating X-ray equipment and computer processing to generate precise images quickly.
- Treatment/management: While CT scans do not treat conditions themselves, they guide medical professionals in planning interventions or surgeries.
- What to expect: The procedure is painless and typically lasts only a few minutes; patients lie still while the scanner rotates around them.
This non-invasive procedure is invaluable for accurate diagnosis and timely treatment decisions across many medical scenarios.
