Services
Specialised care and treatments offered
FLUOROSCOPY-GUIDED JOINT INJECTIONS
A fluoroscopy-guided joint injection delivers medication directly into affected joints under continuous X-ray visualization ensuring precision placement mainly used for pain relief and inflammation control in arthritis cases among others.
- Why necessary: Patients suffering persistent joint pain unresponsive adequately to oral medications benefit greatly by targeted injections reducing symptoms rapidly.
- Diagnostic confirmation: Fluoroscopic imaging verifies needle position thereby minimizing risk of improper drug delivery enhancing therapeutic effects.
- Treatment benefits: Corticosteroids or anesthetics administered locally mitigate inflammation & pain facilitating improved joint function possibly delaying need for surgical intervention.
- Patient perspective: The outpatient procedure takes about 15-20 minutes; mild discomfort may occur but serious complications are rare due to image guidance ensuring safety throughout.
Utilizing real-time X-ray monitoring optimizes treatment outcomes providing personalized care plans tailored specifically addressing musculoskeletal ailments while improving quality of life considerably long term.
DIGITAL MAMMOGRAPHY WITH TOMOSYNTHESIS
This advanced form of mammography captures multiple X-ray images from different angles creating a 3D representation of breast tissue. It enhances early detection of breast cancer compared to traditional methods.
- Screens symptoms/causes proactively: Recommended particularly for women at average risk starting at age 40 or earlier if family history exists; helps identify small tumors often missed otherwise.
- The examination methodology: Breast compression is applied briefly while multiple low-dose X-rays generate detailed layered images facilitating better visualization behind dense tissue regions.
- Treatment roadmap: Early detection through this technique significantly improves prognosis allowing timely surgical interventions or less aggressive therapies when required.
- {@The experience comprises} slight pressure sensation during compression but overall brief procedure duration; radiation exposure remains low adhering strictly to safety standards;
POSITRON EMISSION TOMOGRAPHY (PET) SCAN
A PET scan helps evaluate metabolic activity and function of tissues by detecting radioactive tracer distribution. This is crucial in cancer diagnosis and monitoring treatment response.
- Disease context: Widely used for staging cancers, assessing brain disorders like dementia, and evaluating heart diseases by revealing abnormal cell activity patterns.
- The diagnostic process involves: Injection of a radioactive glucose tracer followed by scanning that highlights areas showing increased metabolism typically associated with malignancies or inflammation.
- Treatment utility: Provides comprehensive insight guiding oncologists on radiation therapy planning or chemotherapy effectiveness assessment over time.
- The patient’s role during the exam includes: resting quietly post-injection to ensure accurate tracer uptake; total duration is around 30-60 minutes without pain involved.
This imaging tool adds functional information complementing anatomical techniques ensuring thorough evaluation of complex medical conditions.
INTERVENTIONAL RADIOLOGY FOR EMBOLIZATION
This minimally invasive technique involves blocking abnormal blood vessels to control bleeding or reduce blood flow to tumors using image guidance like fluoroscopy.
- Causal factors/symptoms: Indicated for active bleeding conditions such as gastrointestinal hemorrhage, trauma-related bleeding, or tumor shrinkage prior to surgery.
- Imaging diagnosis: Initial imaging identifies bleeding sites which interventional radiologists target during embolization procedures.
- Treatment specifics: Catheters deliver embolic agents (particles/coils) directly into problematic vessels halting blood flow effectively without large incisions.
- User expectations: Procedures are done under sedation; hospital stay varies based on condition severity but generally shorter than open surgery recovery times.
The approach offers a safer alternative with reduced risks compared to conventional surgical options in controlling critical bleeding and managing vascular anomalies.
MRI-GUIDED BIOPSY
An MRI-guided biopsy allows precise sampling of suspected tissue abnormalities using magnetic resonance imaging for real-time guidance. It is ideal for deep or difficult-to-access lesions.
- Reasons for use: Typically performed when other imaging methods are inconclusive but suspicion for cancer or infection remains high.
- Diagnostic approach: MRI provides excellent soft-tissue contrast helping target suspicious areas accurately before tissue removal via needle biopsy.
- Treatment implications: Results inform diagnosis and appropriate therapeutic decisions, avoiding unnecessary surgery in many cases.
- Patient experience: Local anesthesia is administered; the procedure is minimally invasive with minimal discomfort and short recovery time expected post-procedure.
MRI-guided biopsies enhance diagnostic precision especially in complex cases where traditional methods may not be feasible or safe.
CT ANGIOGRAPHY
CT Angiography (Computed Tomography Angiography) is a specialized imaging technique used to visualize blood vessels in detail. It is particularly useful for detecting blockages, aneurysms, or vascular malformations.
- Symptoms and causes: Common indications include unexplained chest pain, suspected aneurysms, or vascular disease symptoms such as claudication or stroke risk.
- Diagnosis process: This procedure uses contrast dye injected intravenously combined with CT scans to provide high-resolution images of arteries and veins.
- Treatment and management: Findings from CT angiography guide further interventions like surgery, stenting, or medical management depending on the vascular condition detected.
- What to expect: The scan is quick, usually completed within minutes; patients should fast for a few hours before and report allergies to contrast material.
This non-invasive test offers vital insights into vascular health, assisting clinicians in planning effective treatment strategies tailored to individual patient needs.
