FAQ's

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:

  • Uterine Artery Embolisation (UAE) for fibroids
  • Transarterial Chemoembolisation (TACE) and Radioembolisation (TARE) for liver and other cancers
  •  Tumour embolisation prior to surgery
  •  Percutaneous Transhepatic Biliary Drainage (PTBD)
  •  Prostate artery embolisation
  • Microwave ablation of tumours
  • Spinal, vascular, and hepatobiliary interventions
  •  Pediatric interventional procedures

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.
