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…
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.

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.
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.

It is a minimally invasive procedure and it is highly effective in pain reduction from fibroid tumors that are generally associated with menstrual bleeding.
If abnormalities are detected in the breast after a mammogram but cannot be physically detected, then a thin write inserted by a needle is used by the doctor to obtain tissue samples for a more accurate diagnosis of a breast mass.
