Intervention Radiology is a minimally invasive surgical procedure in which radiologists make small incisions, usually in the abdomen, and use needles and catheters to treat conditions inside the patient’s body.
The process begins with a thorough evaluation of the patient’s medical history, current health status, and any previous imagining studies. This evaluation helps the interventional radiologist determine the most suitable procedure and approach.
Prior to the procedure, patients receive specific instructions regarding fasting, medication, and any necessary changes to their routine. Consent forms are signed, and the patient’s vital signs are monitored.
Depending on the procedure, local anesthesia or conscious sedation may be administered to ensure the patient’s comfort throughout the intervention.
Procedures are guided by real-time imaging techniques such as fluoroscopy, ultrasound, CT, or MRI. These imaging modalities help interventional radiologists visualize the target area and guide instruments with precision.
Once access id gained, instruments such as catheters, wires, or other devices are navigated to the precise location within the body. Based on the ailment detected while monitoring, treatments procedures like angioplasty, embolization, ablation or biopsy.
Patients are moved to a recovery area where they are monitored closely for any immediate post-procedure complications. The effects of anesthesia or sedation wear off during this time.
Our doctors use angiography to visualize blood vessels and diagnose conditions like blockages, aneurysms, and vascular malformations. This enables us to deliver targeted treatments without the need for traditional surgery.
By blocking blood vessels or blood supply to specific areas, we can treat issues such as uterine fibroids, tumors, and arteriovenous malformations, reducing the risk of bleeding and promoting healing.
RFA is a technique that uses heat generated from high-frequency currents to destroy tumors, particularly in the liver, kidney, and lung. This procedure is minimally invasive and has a shorter recovery time compared to traditional surgery.
Our interventional radiologists perform image-guided biopsies to obtain tissue samples for accurate diagnosis of various conditions, such as cancer, infections, and inflammatory disorders.
We offer safe and efficient placement of central venous catheters and ports, which are essential for patients undergoing long-term treatments like chemotherapy,dialysis, and nutritional support.
