Services

Specialised care and treatments offered

IMAGE-GUIDED RADIOFREQUENCY ABLATION

Image-Guided Radiofrequency Ablation

Ablative treatment utilizing radiofrequency energy guided by imaging technology targets abnormal tissues such as tumors with controlled heat application. This minimally invasive option aims to destroy disease cells without removing large amounts of surrounding healthy tissue.

DIGITAL MAMMOGRAPHY

Digital Mammography

A digital mammogram is an advanced breast imaging test that uses low-dose X-rays captured digitally to detect abnormalities early. This technique enhances image quality and facilitates early cancer detection among other breast diseases.

  • Main Use: Routine breast cancer screening and evaluation of lumps or other changes found during physical exams.
  • Differentiation from Film Mammography:The digital method allows image enhancement techniques improving diagnostic accuracy especially in dense breast tissue cases.
  • User Instructions:Slight compression of the breast is necessary during image capture but typically causes only brief discomfort lasting seconds only.

FLUOROSCOPY-GUIDED JOINT INJECTION

Fluoroscopy-Guided Joint Injection

This procedure involves injecting medications directly into joints using fluoroscopy—a live X-ray technique—to ensure precise delivery. It's often used for pain relief and inflammation control in joint disorders.

  • Treatable Conditions: Arthritis, bursitis, tendonitis, or joint injuries causing pain and reduced mobility.
  • Guidance Technique: Fluoroscopy provides continuous imaging so that needles reach exact joint spaces safely without damaging surrounding tissues.
  • Treatment Substances: Corticosteroids, anesthetics, or lubricants may be injected based on clinical needs.
  • User Experience: Usually performed on an outpatient basis with minimal discomfort and rapid symptom improvement expected post-procedure.

The combination of real-time visual guidance with therapeutic injections offers effective management of various musculoskeletal ailments in a minimally invasive way.

MRI SAFETY SCREENING

MRI Safety Screening

MRI safety screening is an essential step prior to undergoing magnetic resonance imaging procedures. It ensures patient safety by identifying contraindications or potential risks related to the MRI environment.

  • Purpose: Detect implants, devices, or metal objects that could interfere with MRI magnets or pose hazards.
  • Screening Process: Detailed questionnaires and sometimes additional X-rays help evaluate any risk factors before scanning.
  • Precautions Taken: Alternative imaging methods may be recommended if unsafe conditions are identified during screening.
  • The Importance for Patients: Helps prevent adverse events such as device malfunction, heating, or injury during MRI scans.

A rigorous safety protocol contributes significantly to making MRI scans safe for all patients while providing detailed internal images needed for diagnosis.

ULTRASOUND-GUIDED DRAINAGE

Ultrasound-Guided Drainage

This technique uses ultrasound imaging to guide the drainage of fluid collections such as abscesses or cysts. It provides a safe alternative to open surgical drainage by targeting affected areas precisely.

  • Indications: Presence of fluid accumulations that cause pain, infection, or other symptoms requiring removal.
  • Imaging Role: Real-time ultrasound helps locate fluid pockets and guides needle or catheter insertion accurately.
  • Treatment Steps: Local anesthesia is applied before placing a drainage catheter or needle to evacuate fluids.
  • Recovery Expectations: Minimally invasive method usually allows quick recovery with follow-up ultrasounds ensuring resolution.

The ultrasound-guided drainage reduces procedural risks and improves outcomes in fluid-related conditions effectively and safely.

CT-GUIDED BIOPSY

CT-Guided Biopsy

A CT-guided biopsy is a minimally invasive procedure used to obtain tissue samples from suspicious areas inside the body. It relies on computed tomography (CT) imaging for precise needle placement, reducing the need for open surgery.

  • Purpose: To diagnose abnormalities such as tumors, infections, or inflammation by analyzing tissue samples.
  • Procedure: A fine needle is inserted through the skin into the targeted area under real-time CT imaging guidance.
  • Preparation and Aftercare: Patients may be asked to fast; local anesthesia is applied. Post-procedure monitoring ensures no complications like bleeding.
  • Benefits: Minimally invasive with high accuracy and reduced recovery time compared to surgical biopsies.
  • Risks: Minor risks include bleeding, infection, or discomfort at the puncture site.

This approach allows for accurate diagnosis while minimizing patient discomfort and hospital stay.
