Treatment & Procedures
Varicose veins are a symptom of weakened veins and valves in the legs. There are one-way valves that keep blood flowing upward from the legs toward the heart. When these valves don’t function properly, blood collects in the legs and pressure is built up. As a result, the veins become large, twisted and weak. Laser ablation treatment is done for this…
The department of radiology provides imaging services for procedures such as stenting or angioplasty, wherein a catheter is guided into clogged arteries. A small balloon accompanies the catheter to open the artery, thereby allowing blood flow to occur.
Interventional radiologists at Manipal hospital coordinate closely with the Department of Oncology to help in the treatment of cancer patients. Some common procedures and treatments used are IRE, pre-op embolizations, percutaneous interventions radiofrequency ablation or transarterial chemo-embolization (TACE) or transarterial radio-embolization (TARE)…
A biopsy involves the removal of small tissue samples or cells to diagnose the presence of a disease. This is generally an outpatient procedure and it involves minimal preparation
This is a common condition that is usually the result of atherosclerosis which affects those with scar tissue and cholesterol buildup. Treatment mainly consists of catheter-directed thrombolysis, angioplasty and stenting and catheter assisted thrombectomy.
CT scan is done with the use of X-rays to take pictures of the patient’s body internally.
Blood clots are known as thrombus form in the deep leg vein and can lead to serious permanent damage that is referred to as a post-thrombotic syndrome. It can also lead to pulmonary embolism which is life-threatening. Interventional radiology provides treatment for this condition through IVC filter, catheter assisted thrombectomy and catheter-directed…
Fluoroscopy helps get a view of a specific internal region of the body. It uses images that are obtained via an X-ray beam and contrast dye being sent to a visual screen.
Patients that suffer from renal failure or chronic kidney disease will undergo replacement therapy, which is in the form of dialysis. The Interventional Radiology department provides treatment such as AV fistula savage (through angioplasty), central vein angioplasty or stenting, perm catheter placement, peritoneal dialysis (catheter placement).
MRI detects many conditions in the upper and lower regions of the body. It involves a powerful magnetic field that is combined with radio waves to produce images of the body’s internal structures. This includes bones, organs, and soft tissues.
The sudden blockage of major arteries in the lung is caused by blood clots. The lungs can be damaged by these clots. Interventional radiology provides treatment in the form of catheter-directed thrombectomy/thrombolysis.
In some cases, regular radiology exams will not be able to obtain a specific image of the patient’s internal body and so nuclear medicine exams come into play. These types of exams use gamma rays along with a special camera to obtain the required images.
TIPS is a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt procedure th at is used to treat internal bleeding in the esophagus or stomach, for patients with cirrhosis. Imaging is used during the procedure to connect the portal and hepatic vein in the liver. A metal device known as a stent will hold the connection open, allowing blood flow from the bowel…

FAQ's
An extensive evaluation of the patient's health is done by a professional before any treatment or diagnostic treatments. This entails obtaining a thorough medical history from the patient and performing a thorough physical examination.
The specialist creates individualised treatment programs or suggests further diagnostic tests based on these findings. To maximise patient outcomes, our methodical approach provides precise diagnoses and customised treatment plans.
At Manipal Hospitals, prompt radiological scanning is essential for detecting a range of urgent medical issues. These include locating lumps, clots, and tumours in vital bodily parts like the brain, belly, and pelvis.
For early intervention and treatment planning, radiological imaging is also necessary for the detection of disorders such as internal bleeding within organs and liver cirrhosis. Our modern radiographic facilities allow for quick and precise diagnosis, prompt care of these serious illnesses, and better patient outcomes.
A variety of specialist tools are used at our radiological facilities to enable precise diagnostic imaging. Modern X-ray tubes are one example of this; they produce the radiation required for imaging operations. During examinations, radiographic tables give patients a stable and customisable surface, guaranteeing ideal placement for accurate imaging. Real-time images taken during procedures are displayed on monitors, enabling radiologists to evaluate image quality and make quick corrections.
Through the use of image brightness and contrast enhancers, fluoroscopy and other dynamic imaging studies can better visualise anatomical structures.
The majority of radiology exams are minimally invasive and created to be painless for the comfort of the patient. However, appropriate steps are taken to promote patient comfort when discomfort or pain is anticipated. A local anaesthetic may be used to numb the area being examined, or in certain cases, general anaesthesia may be used to produce temporary unconsciousness to manage discomfort, depending on the procedure and the patient's preferences. These methods are customised to meet the demands of each patient, ensure a pleasant and relaxing experience during radiological tests.
During the procedure, the patient may be positioned on a radiographic table or other specialised equipment to ensure optimal imaging. The technologist operates the imaging equipment, which may include X-ray machines, CT scanners, MRI scanners, or ultrasound machines, depending on the type of imaging needed. The imaging equipment captures detailed images of the internal structures of the body, which are then interpreted by radiologists. They analyse the images to make a diagnosis or provide information to the referring physician.
After interpretation, the radiologist generates a report detailing their findings, which is shared with the referring healthcare provider. Based on the results of the imaging study, further treatment or additional imaging studies may be recommended.
Test results from radiology are typically accurate when performed and interpreted by trained professionals using modern equipment. Radiological imaging techniques such as X-rays, CT scans, MRI scans, and ultrasound are highly sensitive and can provide detailed images of the body's internal structures.
However, occasional discrepancies may occur due to factors like patient movement or variations in interpretation. Overall, radiological tests are valuable diagnostic tools, but additional clinical information may be considered for comprehensive patient care.
While non-invasive imaging methods like ultrasounds and X-rays usually don't hurt, some treatments, including biopsies, can hurt a little because of pressure sensations and local anaesthetic. Despite being minimally invasive, injections guided by imaging can cause some mild discomfort at the injection site. Nonetheless, medical personnel put the comfort of their patients first and use strategies to reduce any pain they may feel while undergoing these treatments. Furthermore, patients are frequently informed in advance about the symptoms they can expect, so they are well-prepared.
Frequent yearly physical examinations are crucial for preserving general health and delaying the development of severe medical disorders later on. We support proactive health management and place a high priority on preventative treatment.
We advise patients to arrange yearly complete physical examinations to identify any possible health problems early and begin treatment as soon as possible. People can improve their long-term health and quality of life by putting prevention above cure. Our top goal is your health, and we are here to help you on your path to well-being.
