Specialised care and treatments offered
PET-CT SCAN FOR ONCOLOGY STAGING
A positron emission tomography combined with computed tomography (PET-CT) scan is an essential tool in cancer evaluation. It provides metabolic information alongside anatomical details facilitating comprehensive disease assessment.
- Purpose: Accurately stages malignant tumors by showing active cancer cells' location beyond structural abnormalities visible on CT alone.
- Diagnostic Process: Patient receives radioactive tracer absorbed preferentially by cancerous tissue; PET detects this activity while CT maps exact anatomy.
- Impact on Treatment Decisions: Helps determine extent of disease spread guiding surgery feasibility versus systemic therapies like chemotherapy.
- Preparation & Procedure: Requires fasting beforehand; painless scan performed over 30-60 minutes.
This fusion imaging advances oncologic care by identifying metastasis early ensuring optimized individualized treatment planning maximizing outcomes.
FLUOROSCOPY-GUIDED JOINT INJECTIONS
This procedure involves using real-time X-ray imaging to accurately deliver medication directly into joints affected by arthritis or injury, enhancing symptom relief efficiently and safely.
- Causative Conditions Treated: Includes osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, bursitis, and joint inflammation causing pain and limited mobility.
- The Imaging Role: Fluoroscopy ensures needle placement precision avoiding damage to surrounding structures like nerves or blood vessels during injection delivery.
- Treatments Administered: Corticosteroids and anesthetics reduce inflammation while improving joint function temporarily or longer-term depending on condition severity.
- Avoiding Complications: Sterile environment maintained; risks are minimized with expert procedural guidance resulting in faster recovery times compared to blind injections.
DIGITAL MAMMOGRAPHY WITH TOMOSYNTHESIS
An advanced breast imaging technique that combines standard digital mammography with 3D tomosynthesis improves cancer detection rates by providing clearer views through breast tissues.
- Screens for Breast Cancer: Particularly useful for women with dense breasts where lumps may be difficult to spot on regular mammograms alone.
- The Imaging Technique: Multiple low-dose X-rays taken at different angles reconstructed into layered 3D images enhance lesion visibility and characterization.
- Treatment Monitoring: Used not only in screening but also to evaluate tumor response during chemotherapy or after surgical excision planning.
- User Experience: Brief compression applied during scan; procedure is quick and non-invasive, causing minimal discomfort for most patients.
The improved resolution and detail offered by tomosynthesis facilitates earlier detection and accurate assessment of potential abnormalities within breast tissue.
MRI-GUIDED BIOPSY PROCEDURES
MRI-guided biopsies provide precise sampling of suspicious lesions not clearly visible on other imaging methods. This ensures accurate diagnosis with minimal tissue disruption.
- Indications: Lesions located deep within tissues or adjacent to vital structures often require MRI guidance for safe access.
- The Diagnostic Process: Magnetic resonance images locate the target area in real time during needle insertion under sterile conditions.
- Treatment Implications: The biopsy results help in tailoring personalized treatment plans including surgery, chemotherapy, or radiotherapy if needed.
- Pain Management and Recovery: Local anesthesia used; mild soreness common post-procedure but typically resolves quickly without complications.
This method improves diagnostic confidence especially in challenging cases where precision is crucial for patient care decisions.
COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY ANGIOGRAPHY (CTA)
This advanced imaging technique visualizes blood vessels using CT scanning combined with contrast material. It provides detailed views critical for diagnosing vascular conditions.
- Clinical Use: Detects blockages, aneurysms, dissections, and other vessel abnormalities causing symptoms like pain or swelling.
- How Diagnosis is Made: Rapid scans produce high-resolution 3D images of arteries and veins after injection of iodinated contrast agents.
- Treatment Planning: Findings guide surgical or interventional procedures by accurately mapping affected vessels.
- Patient Preparation: Patients must disclose allergies; hydration recommended to protect kidney function during contrast use.
This technique greatly enhances understanding of vascular health, enabling timely management of complex circulatory disorders.
INTERVENTIONAL RADIOLOGY FOR TUMOR ABLATION
Minimally invasive techniques have transformed the treatment of certain tumors, offering alternatives to traditional surgery. Tumor ablation uses imaging guidance to target and destroy abnormal tissue effectively.
- Causes/Symptoms: Tumors diagnosed via imaging often require localized treatment to prevent growth or spread.
- Diagnosis: Advanced imaging modalities such as CT or MRI precisely locate the lesion prior to intervention.
- Treatment Options: Techniques include radiofrequency ablation (RFA), microwave ablation, and cryoablation performed under image guidance to ensure accuracy.
- Procedure Expectations: Usually outpatient with local anesthesia; patients may experience mild discomfort but recover quickly.
- Follow-Up: Imaging repeated periodically post-procedure assesses treatment success and detects recurrence early.
This approach offers a targeted, less invasive option that can preserve healthy tissue while effectively managing select tumors.
