Interventional radiology – A newer approach to diagnosis & treatment

In the ever-evolving landscape of medical advancements, interventional radiology stands out as a revolutionary approach to both diagnosis and treatment. Offering minimally invasive procedures guided by imaging techniques, this field has transformed the way various medical conditions are addressed. At Sanjeevini Hospital in Bangalore, our team of skilled interventional radiologists is dedicated to harnessing this innovative technology for the benefit of our patients.

Interventional radiology
It encompasses a diverse range of procedures, all aimed at diagnosing and treating diseases through image-guided techniques. From biopsies and angioplasties to tumor ablations and embolizations, the scope of interventional radiology is extensive, covering various medical specialties including oncology, cardiology, neurology, and more.
Interventional radiology (IR) offers minimally invasive procedures to diagnose and treat various conditions. Commonly treated diseases include arterial diseases like peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and atherosclerosis, venous diseases such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and varicose veins, and oncological conditions like liver cancer and metastatic tumors. IR also addresses conditions like uterine fibroids, kidney stones, and vertebral compression fractures. Additionally, IR techniques play a crucial role in managing conditions like biliary obstruction, gastrointestinal bleeding, and even certain types of infertility. Overall, IR provides a versatile approach to treating a wide range of medical conditions with less risk and faster recovery.

The key advantage of interventional radiology

Unlike traditional surgeries that often require large incisions and extended recovery periods, interventional radiology procedures involve only small incisions, reducing both trauma and recovery time for patients. This means shorter hospital stays, less discomfort, and quicker return to daily activities.

The interventional radiology department utilizes minimally invasive procedures guided by imaging techniques to diagnose and treat various conditions. Within this department, the Cathlab serves as a central hub for procedures. Equipped with advanced imaging technology like fluoroscopy and angiography, the Cathlab allows interventional radiologists to perform intricate procedures such as angioplasty, embolization, and stent placement. These procedures are conducted with precision, often avoiding the need for traditional surgery and resulting in quicker recovery times for patients.
