Specialised care and treatments offered
DIGITAL MAMMOGRAPHY SCREENING
A widely utilized method for early detection of breast cancer, digital mammography uses low-dose X-rays combined with computer processing to produce high-quality breast images. Early identification enables better treatment outcomes and survival rates among women at risk or age-appropriate screening candidates.
FLUOROSCOPY-GUIDED JOINT INJECTIONS
The use of fluoroscopy allows precise delivery of medications such as corticosteroids into joints affected by arthritis or inflammation. This real-time X-ray guidance enhances accuracy over blind injections, improving therapeutic effectiveness and reducing complications.
- Candidacy: Patients with joint pain unresponsive to oral medications or physical therapy often benefit from these injections.
MRI SAFETY SCREENING AND PATIENT PREPARATION
MRI safety screening is an essential step ensuring patient well-being before magnetic resonance imaging scans. Proper preparation enhances scan quality while avoiding potential hazards related to metallic objects or implants within the body.
- Screening Questions: Thorough review includes checking for pacemakers, metal implants, tattoos, or recent surgeries that may interfere with MRI safety or image quality.
- Nutritional Guidelines: Depending on scan type, fasting instructions might be provided beforehand to optimize imaging results.
- Anxiety Management: Strategies include discussing claustrophobia concerns; sedation options may be offered when necessary.
- Pretreatment Education: Patients learn about what sensations to expect during scanning such as noise and immobility requirements for best images.
This comprehensive preparation contributes significantly toward achieving accurate diagnostic outcomes while prioritizing patient comfort and safety throughout the procedure.
INTERVENTIONAL RADIOLOGY FOR VARICOSE VEINS
A variety of minimally invasive treatments performed by interventional radiologists can help reduce or eliminate varicose veins, improving both symptom relief and cosmetic appearance. These procedures focus on closing problematic veins to redirect blood flow through healthier vessels.
- Main Methods: Endovenous laser therapy (EVLT) and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) are commonly used techniques guided by ultrasound imaging.
- Treatment Process: Small catheters deliver energy directly inside the vein causing it to collapse and seal shut over time.
- Anesthesia: Local anesthesia typically suffices; many patients resume activities quickly afterward.
- Efficacy: High success rate with minimal scarring compared to traditional vein stripping surgeries.
This approach offers a convenient outpatient solution with effective symptom control and improved quality of life for individuals suffering from varicose veins.
CT-GUIDED DRAINAGE OF ABSCESSES
Computed tomography (CT)-guided drainage provides a targeted method to treat fluid collections such as abscesses without open surgery. It offers precise placement of drainage catheters for effective management of infections.
- When Used: For abscesses not responding well to antibiotics alone or located deep inside the body.
- Imaging Assistance: CT imaging assists in navigating complex anatomy safely during catheter insertion.
- Treatment Benefits: Minimally invasive with reduced recovery time compared to surgical drainage methods.
- Sterile Technique: Performed under sterile conditions to prevent new infections.
- Follow-up: May require repeat imaging and catheter adjustments until drainage is complete.
This technique is widely regarded for its safety profile and effectiveness in resolving abscesses, enabling patients to avoid more invasive procedures.
ULTRASOUND-GUIDED BIOPSY
A minimally invasive procedure, ultrasound-guided biopsy is often used to obtain tissue samples from suspicious areas detected in imaging tests. It provides a safe and effective way to diagnose various conditions without the need for major surgery.
- Uses: Identifies abnormal tissue or masses generally seen on ultrasound scans.
- Procedure: Real-time ultrasound imaging guides a needle precisely to the target area for sample collection.
- Diagnosis: Enables pathology analysis that helps confirm diagnosis of infections, cancers, or benign lesions.
- Patient Experience: Usually done in an outpatient setting under local anesthesia with minimal discomfort.
- Aftercare: Minor bruising or soreness may occur, but recovery time is short.
This approach improves diagnostic accuracy while minimizing risks associated with more invasive biopsies, making it a valuable tool in modern radiology practice.
