Services
Specialised care and treatments offered
IMAGE-GUIDED RADIOFREQUENCY ABLATION (RFA)
This innovative therapy uses heat generated by radiofrequency waves to destroy abnormal tissue such as tumors. Image guidance ensures accurate targeting while sparing healthy adjacent structures.
- Applications : Treatment of small liver tumors , lung nodules , bone lesions , especially when surgery is contraindicated or high-risk .
- Method : A thin probe inserted through the skin reaches the lesion guided by ultrasound , CT , or MRI . The radiofrequency energy heats tissue causing controlled cell death .
- Advantages : Minimally invasive with less pain , shorter hospital stays compared to conventional surgery .
- Recovery : Patients typically resume normal activities within days ; follow-up scans monitor treatment success .
By combining precision imaging with targeted energy delivery , RFA offers an effective option for localized tumor control while minimizing side effects .
PERCUTANEOUS NEPHROSTOMY
A percutaneous nephrostomy is a minimally invasive procedure that drains urine from obstructed kidneys using a catheter inserted through the skin. It helps relieve pressure caused by urinary tract obstructions due to stones or tumors.
- Indications : Blockage in the ureter causing hydronephrosis with pain or impaired kidney function .
- Procedure : Under imaging guidance such as ultrasound or fluoroscopy , a thin tube is placed into the renal pelvis through the flank .
- Outcome : Immediate decompression of kidney , improved urine flow , prevention of infection , preserving renal function .
- Care : Catheter care instructions include keeping insertion site clean ; follow-up visits ensure patency .
This approach offers an effective alternative to surgery by providing urgent drainage via a safe , image-guided method that improves patient comfort significantly .
FLUOROSCOPY-GUIDED JOINT INJECTION
This outpatient procedure involves injecting medication directly into joints under continuous X-ray visualization. It is commonly performed to treat joint pain or inflammation caused by arthritis or injuries.
- Aim: Deliver corticosteroids or anesthetics precisely into affected joints for symptom relief and improved mobility.
- Guidance:The real-time fluoroscopy ensures accurate needle placement minimizing risk of injuring surrounding structures.
- Treatment Benefits: Reduced pain, decreased inflammation, and often prolonged effects that reduce need for oral medications or surgery.
- Patient Experience:The intervention usually takes under 30 minutes with minimal discomfort during needle insertion; most patients report quick recovery allowing return to daily activities shortly after injection.
MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING (MRI) OF THE BRAIN
MRI provides highly detailed images of brain structures without radiation exposure. It is essential for evaluating neurological conditions where clarity on soft tissues is crucial.
- Diseases Evaluated: Tumors, strokes, multiple sclerosis, infections, and congenital anomalies are commonly assessed using brain MRI.
- MRI Process: Uses powerful magnets and radio waves; patients lie still inside a tubular scanner during image acquisition lasting 20-45 minutes depending on sequences used.
- No Radiation Risk: Unlike CT scans, MRI does not expose patients to ionizing radiation making it safe for repeated use if necessary.
- Pain & Preparation:The procedure is painless but requires remaining motionless; some cases require contrast injection to highlight pathology more clearly.
MRI remains a gold standard imaging tool providing crucial insight into complex neurological issues through noninvasive means.
COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY (CT) ANGIOGRAPHY
This advanced imaging technique produces detailed images of blood vessels to evaluate conditions affecting vascular structures. CT angiography is non-invasive and provides rapid results useful in emergency situations or elective evaluations.
- Uses: Detecting aneurysms, blockages, stenosis, or malformations in arteries and veins.
- Process: A contrast dye is injected intravenously before scanning to enhance vessel visibility.
- Preparation & Safety: Assessment for allergies to contrast media and kidney function tests are standard prior to exam.
- Advantages: Fast imaging with high-resolution 3D reconstructions aids precise diagnosis and treatment planning.
This modality plays a key role in vascular diagnosis while avoiding the invasiveness of traditional catheter angiography.
ULTRASOUND-GUIDED BIOPSY
A minimally invasive procedure, ultrasound-guided biopsy allows for precise sampling of suspicious tissues to assist in diagnosis. It is often used when abnormalities are detected in organs like the breast, thyroid, or lymph nodes.
- Purpose: To obtain tissue samples for histopathological examination without surgical intervention.
- Technique: Real-time ultrasound imaging guides a needle to the exact location of the lesion.
- Conditions Diagnosed: Tumors, cysts, infections, and inflammatory processes.
- Procedure duration and recovery: Typically completed within 30-60 minutes with minimal discomfort; normal activities can usually be resumed shortly after.
- Benefits: Reduces need for open surgery and minimizes complications while providing accurate diagnostic information.
This targeted approach ensures accurate diagnosis with less risk and quicker recovery compared to traditional methods.
