Interventional
Radiology is a medical specialty that uses real-time imaging techniques such as
ultrasound, fluoroscopy, CT, or MRI to guide minimally invasive procedures.
These treatments are performed through small incisions using catheters,
needles, or wires and are used to diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions
without the need for open surgery.
BMH provides a comprehensive range of image-guided treatments, including:
Yes.
These procedures are typically performed through small punctures under local
anaesthesia or mild sedation. They involve less pain, minimal scarring, fewer
complications, and significantly shorter recovery times compared to traditional
surgery.
All
procedures are performed by highly skilled interventional radiologists with
subspecialty training. The team works in close coordination with departments
like oncology, hepatology, urology, gynaecology, and surgery to provide safe,
targeted, and multidisciplinary care.
Yes.
UAE is a proven, non-surgical treatment option for women with symptomatic
uterine fibroids. It preserves the uterus and is especially suitable for
patients seeking to avoid hysterectomy. At BMH, UAE is performed under expert
image guidance using high-precision technology for safe outcomes.
TACE is a targeted cancer therapy that delivers chemotherapy directly to the liver tumour while simultaneously blocking its blood supply. This approach improves drug efficacy and reduces side effects. It is ideal for patients with inoperable liver cancer and is part of our collaborative cancer care services.
Most interventional procedures are performed as day-care or short-stay treatments. Patients typically resume normal activities within 1 to 3 days, depending on the type and complexity of the procedure. This faster recovery is one of the key advantages of interventional radiology.
Yes.
Interventional radiology is often the preferred option for elderly patients or
those who cannot undergo conventional surgery due to comorbidities. The
minimally invasive nature of these treatments makes them safer and more
tolerable in high-risk cases.
Yes. Our radiology department offers ultrasound-guided and CT-guided biopsies for the accurate diagnosis of deep-seated or difficult-to-access lesions. These procedures are performed with precision and minimal discomfort, reducing the need for surgical exploration.
