Diagnostic Radiology

Diagnostic radiology uses various imaging techniques like X-rays, CT scans, and MRI to visualize and diagnose medical conditions within the body.

Radiation Oncology

Radiation oncology is a specialized field that employs targeted radiation therapy to treat cancer, focusing on the destruction of cancerous cells while sparing healthy tissue.

Embolization

Embolization is a medical procedure where materials like coils or particles are used to block blood vessels to treat conditions such as aneurysms or abnormal bleeding.

Chemoembolization

Chemoembolization combines the delivery of chemotherapy drugs with embolization techniques to treat liver tumors, offering a concentrated treatment directly to the tumor site.

Ablation

Ablation is a minimally invasive procedure that uses heat or cold to destroy tissue, often used to treat conditions like liver tumors or abnormal heart rhythms.

Balloons & Stents

Balloons and stents are medical devices used to widen or support narrowed or blocked blood vessels, such as in angioplasty procedures.

Needle Biopsy & Drainage

Needle biopsy is a diagnostic procedure that involves extracting a sample of tissue or fluid for examination, while needle drainage is used to remove excess fluid or pus from a localized area.

Gastrostomy

Gastrostomy is a surgical procedure where a tube is inserted through the abdominal wall into the stomach to provide nutrition for patients unable to eat normally.

Percutaneous Biliary Drains

Percutaneous biliary drains are inserted through the skin to help drain bile from the liver or gallbladder, often used to treat blockages or infections.

Ureteral Stents

Ureteral stents are flexible tubes placed in the ureter to alleviate obstruction or promote urine flow, commonly used for kidney stone management.

Portal Vein Embolization

This procedure involves blocking a portion of the portal vein to redirect blood flow in the liver, often performed before liver surgery to promote regrowth of the liver.

Venography

Venography is an imaging technique that uses contrast dye and X-rays to visualize veins, aiding in the diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and other vascular issues.

Mediports

Mediports are implanted devices that provide a convenient and long-term access point for delivering medications or withdrawing blood samples.

Bronchial Angiography

Bronchial angiography is a diagnostic procedure used to evaluate the blood vessels within the lungs and bronchial tree.

Angiography

Angiography is a medical imaging technique that uses contrast dye and X-rays to visualize blood vessels, aiding in the diagnosis and treatment of vascular conditions.

Angioplasty

Angioplasty is a procedure that uses a balloon to open narrowed or blocked blood vessels, often followed by stent placement to maintain vessel patency.

Gastrostomy Tubes

Gastrostomy tubes are inserted into the stomach through the abdominal wall, providing a means for long-term enteral nutrition.

Intravascular Ultrasound

Intravascular ultrasound is a technique that uses sound waves to create detailed images of blood vessels, assisting in the assessment of vessel health and blockages.

Stent Placement

Stent placement involves inserting a mesh-like tube to support and keep blood vessels or ducts open, commonly used in the treatment of coronary artery disease or biliary obstructions.

Foreign Body Removal

This procedure involves the removal of objects or materials lodged within the body, often performed endoscopically or using minimally invasive techniques.

Needle Biopsy

Needle biopsy is a procedure where a thin needle is used to extract tissue samples for diagnostic evaluation.

IVC Filters

Inferior vena cava (IVC) filters are implanted devices that help prevent blood clots from traveling to the lungs, reducing the risk of pulmonary embolism.

Injection of Clot-Dissolving Medicines

This procedure involves injecting medications to dissolve blood clots, commonly used in cases of deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism.

Catheters Insertions

Catheter insertion involves placing thin, flexible tubes into various body vessels or cavities for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes.

Cancer Treatment

Cancer treatment encompasses various methods, including surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy, aimed at combating cancerous growth and improving patient outcomes.
