Treatment & Procedures

Angioplasty and Stenting

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.

Spider/Varicose Vein Treatment

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…

Biopsies

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.

Nuclear Medicine Exams

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.

CT Imaging

CT scan is done with the use of X-rays to take pictures of the patient’s body internally.

Fluoroscopy

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.

TIPS for Portal Hypertension

TIPS is a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt procedure that 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…

Tumor Ablation Therapies

This therapy involves the use of cold, hot or chemical agents to treat cancerous tumors. Manipal hospital’s department of radiology specializes in the use of cryotherapy and microwave for tumor ablation.

Uterine Fibroid Embolization

Uterine fibroid embolization is used to treat fibroid tumours in the uterus. A catheter is steered through an artery to the uterus using fluoroscopy (x-ray imaging). It is a minimally invasive procedure and it is highly effective in pain reduction from fibroid tumors that are generally associated with menstrual bleeding.

Wire localization (Breast Biopsy)

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.

X-Rays or Radiographs

X-rays are used to obtain images of the internal regions of the body. This helps doctors make accurate diagnoses

Mammography

This procedure helps in the early detection of breast cancer. Images of breast tissue are captured for examination through low dose x-rays.

MRI

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.
