Services
Specialised care and treatments offered
INTERVENTIONAL RADIOLOGY FOR UTERINE FIBROIDS
An advanced approach targeting uterine fibroids involves performing procedures such as uterine artery embolization (UAE) which minimizes invasive surgery risks while treating fibroid symptoms effectively.
IMAGE-GUIDED SCLEROTHERAPY
This procedure involves the injection of a sclerosing agent directly into abnormal veins under imaging guidance to treat conditions like varicose veins or venous malformations.
- This treatment reduces symptoms such as swelling and discomfort caused by these veins.
MRI FOR MUSCULOSKELETAL DISORDERS
An MRI uses powerful magnets and radio waves to create detailed images of muscles, ligaments, and joints which are key components of musculoskeletal health.
- Purpose: It's primarily employed to diagnose conditions like tears or degenerative diseases affecting soft tissues around bones and cartilage.
- No Radiation Use: Unlike X-rays or CT scans, MRIs do not expose patients to ionizing radiation making them a safer alternative for repeated evaluations.
FLUOROSCOPY
This real-time imaging technique uses X-rays to visualize internal structures during dynamic processes such as swallowing or joint movement.
- Functionality: It helps assess anatomical abnormalities in the gastrointestinal tract, joints, or vascular systems.
- Indications: Fluoroscopy is commonly utilized for observing the function of organs like the esophagus and assessing injuries in joints.
- Procedure Process: During fluoroscopy, patients are positioned under an X-ray machine while they perform specific movements or swallow contrast material for clearer visualization.
This innovative approach provides immediate feedback to assist healthcare professionals in making informed treatment decisions effectively.
CT SCAN OF ABDOMEN AND PELVIS
This imaging technique provides detailed cross-sectional images of the abdomen and pelvis, assisting in diagnosing numerous conditions.
- Uses: Commonly employed to evaluate abdominal pain, organ diseases, or tumors.
- Procedure Details: Patients lie on a table that slides into the CT machine, capturing images using X-rays from multiple angles.
- Disease Detection: This scan can reveal structural abnormalities, helping physicians formulate appropriate treatment strategies.
- No Preparation Required: In many cases, little to no preparation is needed beforehand; however, fasting may be requested in specific scenarios.
The clear images produced by this scan aid significantly in timely and accurate diagnosis leading to effective management plans.
ULTRASOUND-GUIDED BIOPSY
An ultrasound-guided biopsy is a minimally invasive procedure used to obtain tissue samples for diagnostic purposes.
- Symptoms: Patients may present with abnormal masses or lesions detected on imaging studies.
- Diagnosis: The lesion's location is determined through ultrasound imaging, enabling precise targeting.
- Treatment Options: The tissue sample can help identify conditions such as cancer or infections, guiding further treatment plans.
- Management: Post-procedure care typically involves monitoring for any bleeding or infection at the biopsy site.
- Expectations: Most patients experience minimal discomfort and can resume regular activities shortly after the biopsy.
Overall, this procedure offers a valuable method for diagnosing various conditions while minimizing recovery time.
