Interventional Radiology Service

The Interventional Radiology service offers minimally invasive procedures such as Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) and Image-Guided Percutaneous Biopsy. These procedures provide effective treatment options and diagnostic tools for patients.

Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) is a minimally invasive procedure that is performed through the skin using a needle. It utilizes medical imaging equipment such as ultrasound or CT for guidance and navigation. The goal of RFA is to permanently kill cancer cells by delivering targeted heat energy to the tumor. This procedure provides results similar to surgery but with less invasiveness and a shorter recovery time.

Image-Guided Percutaneous Biopsy is another procedure offered in the Interventional Radiology Clinic. It is used to obtain tissue samples for diagnosis and staging of cancer. The procedure involves using imaging techniques such as ultrasound, CT, or MRI to precisely guide the needle to the specific area of interest. A small tissue sample is then obtained for further analysis in the laboratory.

Interventional Radiology procedures are performed by experienced radiologists who specialize in these minimally invasive techniques. They work in close collaboration with other medical specialists to ensure accurate diagnosis and effective treatment.

These minimally invasive procedures in Interventional Radiology provide patients with alternatives to traditional surgery. They offer advantages such as reduced risk, shorter hospital stays, quicker recovery, and minimal scarring. By utilizing advanced imaging technology and precise techniques, Interventional Radiology plays a crucial role in the comprehensive care and treatment of patients with various medical conditions, including cancer.
