Radiology Procedures
- Interventional Radiology: Minimally invasive procedures using imaging guidance to diagnose and treat diseases.
- Interventional Neuroradiology: Focuses on minimally invasive image-based diagnosis and treatment for conditions in the brain and spine.
- Endovascular Surgery / Neurosurgery: Minimally invasive techniques performed within blood vessels to treat vascular disorders.
- Angioplasty: A procedure to open narrowed or blocked blood vessels that supply blood to the heart or other body parts.
- Varicose Veins Laser Therapy: Laser treatment to close off varicose veins.
- Varicose Veins Radio-Frequency Ablation: Uses radiofrequency energy to heat and close varicose veins.
- Endovenous Laser Ablation for Varicose Veins: A laser-based technique to treat varicose veins by sealing them.
- Uterine Fibroid Embolization: A non-surgical procedure to treat fibroids by blocking blood flow to the fibroids.
- Angioplasty and Stenting: Procedures that involve widening blood vessels with stents to keep them open.
- Acute Stroke Thrombectomy: Mechanical removal of blood clots in the brain for stroke treatment.
- Chemoembolization and Radioembolization of Liver Cancer: Deliver chemotherapy or radiation directly to liver tumors.
- Varicocele Embolization: Minimally invasive treatment of varicocele, where varicose veins in the scrotum are closed off.
- Sclerotherapy: Injection of a solution to collapse veins, commonly used for varicose veins.
- Spinal and Cerebral Tumor Embolization: Reduces blood flow to tumors in the spine or brain.
- Head & Neck Tumor Embolization: A technique to shrink tumors in the head and neck by cutting off blood supply.
Symptoms
- Varicose Veins: Swollen, twisted veins, often treated using minimally invasive techniques in Interventional Radiology.
- Diabetic Foot / Foot Ulcer: Chronic wounds or ulcers commonly associated with diabetes, which may be treated with endovascular procedures.
Diseases
- Stroke: A condition treated using thrombectomy and carotid artery stenting to restore blood flow.
- Brain Aneurysm: Bulging of a blood vessel in the brain; treated with stent-assisted coiling and flow diverter techniques.
- Portal Hypertension: High blood pressure in the portal vein; treatable through interventional radiology.
- Peripheral Vascular Disease: Narrowed arteries reducing blood flow, commonly treated with angioplasty and stenting.
- Aortic Aneurysm: A bulging section in the aorta, treatable with endovascular repair.
- Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT): Blood clot in a deep vein, managed with interventional treatments such as IVC filters.
- Vascular Malformation: Abnormal blood vessel formation, treated through various embolization techniques.
- Mesenteric Ischemia: Reduced blood flow to intestines, often requiring endovascular intervention.
- Arterial Thrombosis: Blood clot in an artery, managed by intra-arterial thrombolysis.
- Cerebrovascular Diseases: Blood vessel disorders in the brain, treated with various interventional radiology procedures.
- Vascular Brain Diseases: Disorders involving brain blood vessels, often requiring endovascular treatments.
Surgeries
- Cerebrovascular Surgery: Surgical procedures to treat blood vessel disorders in the brain.
- Microvascular Surgery: Surgery to repair small blood vessels, often aided by interventional radiology techniques.
Other Techniques
- IVC Filter Placement: A device placed in the inferior vena cava to prevent blood clots from traveling to the lungs.
- Endovascular Treatment for Renal / Pulmonary Arteriovenous Malformation: Minimally invasive treatment for abnormal blood vessel connections.
- Venous Angioplasty & Stenting: Widening and stenting of veins to improve blood flow.
- Embolization for Fibroid: A minimally invasive procedure to treat fibroids by blocking their blood supply.
- Radiofrequency Ablation: A technique using heat to destroy tissue, commonly used for varicose veins.
