Services

Specialised care and treatments offered

INTERVENTIONAL RADIOLOGY PROCEDURES

Interventional Radiology Procedures

This subspecialty focuses on minimally invasive treatments performed under image guidance such as X-rays or ultrasound. It reduces risks compared with traditional surgery while maintaining therapeutic effectiveness through precision targeting techniques.

  • Types of procedures: Include angioplasty/stenting/sclerotherapy for vascular issues; biopsies; drainages; tumor ablations; embolizations.
  • Guidance methods: Real-time imaging ensures accurate needle placement or catheter navigation preventing damage to surrounding structures.
  • Benefits: Less pain post-procedure; shorter hospital stays; faster recovery times compared with open surgery.
  • Patient candidacy: Selected based on clinical condition severity & feasibility assessed collaboratively by treating teams.

Interventional radiology provides essential alternatives enabling effective treatments even when conventional surgery entails greater risks or longer downtime involved.

MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING (MRI)

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

MRI utilizes strong magnetic fields and radio waves to generate detailed images of organs and tissues inside the body. It is widely employed when more contrast resolution is necessary beyond what X-rays can provide without involving radiation exposure.

  • Imaging scope: Excellent for brain, spinal cord evaluations; musculoskeletal system; cardiac structures; abdomen & pelvis soft tissues assessments.
  • Contrast use: Sometimes gadolinium-based agents improve differentiation between normal and pathological tissues.
  • Procedure characteristics: Noninvasive with no ionizing radiation but longer scan times requiring patient cooperation.
  • Clinical impact: Helps diagnose tumors, inflammation, infections,and degenerative disorders accurately guiding treatment decisions.

MRI represents a versatile diagnostic tool essential in detecting subtle changes invisible via other imaging modalities enhancing patient care precision.

PEDIATRIC ULTRASOUND

Pediatric Ultrasound

Pediatric ultrasound is a safe imaging procedure specifically adapted for children. It uses sound waves to produce pictures without radiation exposure and is frequently employed for diagnosing various conditions in infants and young patients.

  • Spectrum of use: Includes evaluation of abdominal organs, brain through fontanelles, hips for developmental dysplasia, and soft tissue masses among others.
  • Painless process: Non-invasive with no discomfort; gel is applied on the skin surface where the probe moves gently over targeted areas.
  • No radiation risks: Ideal for repeated exams since it avoids ionizing radiation important in growing children’s safety considerations.
  • Differentiation capability: Can distinguish cystic versus solid masses helping tailor management plans effectively early on without invasive methods needed initially.

This modality is especially valued in pediatric care due to its safety profile combined with diagnostic effectiveness across many childhood conditions requiring imaging support.

FLUOROSCOPY

Fluoroscopy

Fluoroscopy is an imaging technique that displays continuous X-ray images in real time. It enables healthcare providers to observe moving internal structures and guide diagnostic or therapeutic procedures live.

  • Use cases: Commonly utilized for gastrointestinal studies, catheter placements, joint injections, and cardiac procedures.
  • Procedure details: Contrast agents may be administered orally or intravenously to enhance visibility during movement examination.
  • Dynamics observed: Allows visualization of organ function such as swallowing mechanics or blood flow within vessels.
  • Treatment assistance: Facilitates minimally invasive interventions by real-time monitoring enabling precise adjustments during procedures.

This technique offers valuable functional information beyond static images which improves diagnosis and treatment accuracy significantly.

COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY (CT SCAN)

Computed Tomography (CT Scan)

A CT scan combines multiple X-ray measurements taken from different angles to create cross-sectional images of the body. This advanced form of radiology helps diagnose a wide range of conditions quickly and accurately.

  • Applications: Commonly used to evaluate trauma injuries, infections, tumors, and vascular diseases in various organs.
  • Procedure: Patients lie on a table that moves through the scanner; contrast dye may be administered to enhance image clarity.
  • Diagnosis: The detailed images allow physicians to see bones, soft tissues, and blood vessels in great detail.
  • Treatment planning: Helps guide surgeries, biopsies, and radiation therapy by pinpointing precise locations.
  • Safety considerations: Although it uses ionizing radiation, doses are controlled and justified by clinical need.

This diagnostic tool plays a crucial role in providing comprehensive internal visualization facilitating timely medical interventions.

MAMMOGRAPHY

Mammography

Mammography is a specialized imaging technique used primarily for the early detection of breast cancer. It involves low-dose X-rays to produce detailed images of breast tissue, allowing for the identification of abnormalities that may not be felt during a physical exam.

  • Purpose: Mainly used as a screening tool to detect breast cancer in asymptomatic women and to evaluate lumps or other symptoms.
  • Process: The breast is compressed between two plates to spread the tissue for clearer images.
  • Detection: Mammograms can reveal tumors, calcifications, and other changes that require further assessment.
  • Follow-up: If suspicious areas are found, additional imaging or biopsy may be recommended.
  • Frequency: Screening guidelines vary but generally start around age 40-50 or earlier based on risk factors.

This imaging method remains one of the most effective ways to detect breast cancer early, improving treatment outcomes significantly.
