Philosophy and Work We Do

Intervention Radiology focuses on assistance of Radiological services like Ultrasound, CT and MRI for

1. Diagnostic procedures like FNAC, Biopsy and

2. Therapeutic procedures like

a. Drainage (Pus Drainage, Ascites and Pleural effusion Drainage, PTBD/Biliary Drainage),

b. Vascular Intervention for emergency embolization (NBCA Glue, Coils, PVA particles),

c. Chemoembolization, Tumor ablation,

d. Varicose veins ablation, Peripheral artery interventions, Venous and Lymphatic malformation chemical schlerotherapy, Peripheral AVM embolization, DVT thrombectomy.

e. Dialysis access and Balloon and Stent Venoplasty,

f. Carotid Angioplasty and stenting,

g. Mechanical Thrombectomy, Brain Aneurysm embolization, Brain AVM embolization etc.

Area we focus on

Body Intervention: Any organs/body parts below the neck: Lung, Liver, Kidneys, Bowel loops, Spleen

Neuro Intervention: Neck and Head organs: Carotid arteries, Brain and its vessel diseases.

Peripheral Intervention: Upper and lower limbs, Dialysis Fistula Access and its problems.
