Treatment & Procedures

Peripheral Artery Disease

Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is a condition characterised by the narrowing of arteries that supply blood from the heart to various parts of the body. The most common form of PAD affects the lower extremities, reducing blood flow to the legs and feet, while a less common form impacts the upper extremities, affecting the arms, hands, and fingers.…

Deep Vein Thrombosis

Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition where blood clots form in the deep veins, usually in the legs, and can lead to severe health problems if untreated, such as pulmonary embolism when clots travel to the lungs. At Manipal Hospitals in Bhubaneswar, Odisha, our Radiology Department offers specialised care for DVT using advanced imaging…

Pulmonary Embolism

Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a medical condition in which blood clots in the legs, called deep vein thrombosis (DVT), break off and travel along the bloodstream, subsequently blocking the artery that aids in supplying blood to the lungs. Considered a serious and fatal form of venous thromboembolic disease, PE causes oxygen levels to drop in your lungs,…

Dialysis Access

The Radiology Department at Manipal Hospitals in Bhubaneswar, Odisha, offers specialised services for dialysis access. Dialysis access procedures are critical for patients with kidney failure who require regular dialysis treatments. These procedures involve creating and maintaining access points in the body, such as arteriovenous (AV) fistulas, grafts,…

Angioplasty and Stenting

Angioplasty, also called Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty (PTA) or Balloon Angioplasty, is a procedure that involves the insertion of a balloon-tipped catheter inside narrowed blood vessels, especially coronary arteries, that supplies blood to the heart. The procedure is done with the help of guided scans, such as X-rays, and contrast dye to visualise…

Biopsies

A biopsy is a medical process in which your body is examined by having a small sample of tissue removed. It's a vital instrument that aids medical professionals in using a microscope to examine cells and tissues for problems like cancer, infections, or other disorders. The skin, internal tissues, and organs are among the bodily parts on which biopsies…

CT Imaging

The word "computed tomography," or "CT," describes a computerised X-ray imaging technique in which a patient is exposed to a narrow beam of X-rays that is rapidly rotated around the body. This process produces signals, which the machine's computer processes to create cross-sectional images, or "slices." Compared to traditional X-rays, these slices—known…

Fluoroscopic Imaging

Our Radiology Department offers advanced fluoroscopic imaging services to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of various medical conditions. Fluoroscopic imaging is a specialised technique that uses continuous X-ray beams to create real-time images of internal structures and functions of the body. This technology is particularly valuable for guiding…

Mammography

Mammography is an imaging technique that uses specialised X-rays for the detection of tumours and other abnormalities present in the breast. It is commonly employed either for screening purposes or as a diagnostic tool. A mammogram uses low doses of radiation that fall well within established safety thresholds. The advantages of mammography surpass…

MRI

A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan is a non-invasive diagnostic imaging scan that uses magnetic and radio waves to produce detailed images of the internal structures of the body, including bones, blood vessels, and soft tissues. An MRI scanner looks like a large tube with a table placed in the centre. The patient is placed at the table and slides…

X-rays or Radiographs

X-rays or radiographs, are a type of diagnostic procedure that uses electromagnetic waves to capture images within the structures of the body. An X-ray image consists of a combination of black and white shades resulting from different tissue absorptions of radiation. Bones appear white due to their calcium content, while soft tissues, like fat, absorb…

What are the different types of radiology?

Diagnostic radiology and interventional radiology are two subfields that fall under the umbrella of radiology. Radiologists are medical professionals with a specialisation in radiography.

What is diagnostic radiology?

Diagnostic radiology makes internal body structures visible to medical professionals. Diagnostic radiologists are medical professionals who specialise in the interpretation of these pictures. In many cases, the radiologist or other healthcare professionals can:

Determine the origin of your symptoms.
Keep track of how your body reacts to any medications you are consuming for a sickness or ailment.
Check for a variety of diseases, including heart disease, colon cancer, and breast cancer.

What are the most common types of diagnostic radiology?

The most common types of diagnostic radiological exams are as follows:

Computerised Axial Tomography (CAT) scans, which include CT Angiography, are often referred to as Computed Tomography (CT).
Upper gastrointestinal and barium enema fluoroscopy
Magnetic Resonance Angiography (MRA)
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
Breast imaging
Nuclear medicine includes diagnostic techniques such as thallium cardiac stress testing, and thyroid, and bone scans.
Plain X-rays, such as chest X-rays; PET imaging, PET scans, or PET-CT when paired with CT Ultrasound; Positron Emission Tomography

What is interventional radiology?

Interventional radiologists use imaging technologies like CT, ultrasound, MRI, and fluoroscopy to guide procedures, allowing for smaller incisions and treating conditions in various body parts. They treat cancers, tumours, artery blockages, uterine fibroids, back pain, liver problems, and kidney problems. Interventional radiologists typically make no or small incisions and rarely require hospital stays, with most patients requiring moderate sedation.

What is an X-ray?

Probably the most well-known type of diagnostic testing is X-ray imaging. X-rays use electromagnetic radiation, which contains energy forms that resemble waves, much like visible light.

How is an X-ray test performed?

The X-ray examination is performed by a certified technician, who may also ask you to provide a brief history, remove any metal objects, and put on a hospital gown. The type of X-ray being done determines how you are positioned. Several views of the X-ray can be required. When undergoing radiography, you must remain still, as the images can become fuzzy due to motion. When the picture is being taken, you could be asked to hold your breath or remain motionless for a brief period.

What should I expect before an X-ray?

Inform your medical team if you are pregnant or suspect you could be pregnant before the X-ray. Images containing metal may be hazy. You should try to wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothes. You might also have to wear a hospital robe and take off all jewellery.

Will I feel pain during an X-ray?

X-rays don't hurt. Nonetheless, a few body positions required for an X-ray may be uncomfortable for a short while.

What are the risks associated with X-rays?

X-rays are usually controlled and monitored so that you will be exposed to the least amount of radiation while creating the image. There is extremely little risk of cancer or abnormalities with the majority of ordinary X-rays. The majority of specialists believe that the advantages of adequate X-ray imaging far exceed the risks. Young children and unborn children are particularly vulnerable to the dangers of X-rays. Inform your medical professional if you suspect pregnancy.

After what time can I expect the results?

Within twenty-four hours of reviewing your films, the radiologist will transmit the results to the referring physician. The referring physician will talk to you about the results of the X-ray.

What should I expect during a CT scan?

CT scans are painless procedures where you lie still for some time on a table that slides in and out of the centre of the machine.
A technologist monitors the procedure and may ask you to hold your breath to avoid blurring images. Contrast may be needed to examine internal organs, with intravenous contrast requiring fasting for three hours before the scan. Oral contrast (barium) takes up to one hour to coat the gastrointestinal tract lining. The scan usually lasts a few minutes, but preparation time can take up to an hour. After the scan, you can resume normal activities. If intravenous contrast was used, drink at least eight glasses of water daily to flush the contrast out. Results can be expected within 48 hours.
