Treating Cancer With Interventional Radiology!

Mammography is a medical imaging technique which uses low-energy X-rays to examine the human breast for screening and diagnosis.

Cholecystectomy is a medical procedure which involves the insertion of a tube into the gallbladder to remove the infected bile and sometimes, the entire gallbladder. It is often used for the treatment of cholecystitis (inflammation of the gallbladder). IVC (inferior vena cava) filters and TIPS (Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt) the vascular techniques and radiofrequency ablation is an ablative technique used in the interventional radiology.

Angiography is a diagnostic procedure which helps a radiologist visualize the lumen of blood vessels and organs of the body. A radio-opaque transparent agent is injected into the blood vessel and the images are obtained using X-ray based techniques like fluoroscopy. Cryoablation, balloon angioplasty, and angiography are the therapeutic procedures of interventional radiology. In cryoablation, argon gas is used to generate the cold temperature to destroy the tissue using a special catheter. In balloon angioplasty, a balloon is used with or without a stent to open the blocked or narrow blood vessels. In vertebroplasty, bone cement is injected into a fractured vertebra through a puncture made in the skin.

A biopsy is a medical procedure which requires a sample of tissue to be removed from a body part. This tissue sample is examined under a microscope to find out the abnormality. During embolization, an embolic substance is placed in order to block or prevent the blood passing through a blood vessel. Thrombolysis is a catheter-directed technique to improve the blood flow in the blood vessels by dissolving the blood clots which are responsible for vascular blockages. Dialysis is a process conducted s to remove the waste products, toxins, and excess fluid from the blood with the help of a catheter.
