Interventional Radiology
IR utilizes minimally invasive techniques guided by advanced imaging technologies to diagnose and treat a variety of conditions. At VRP Medical Center, the IR Section offers up-to-date services with significant advantages, including reduced risk, less pain, and quicker recovery times compared to traditional surgeries.
Our Services
Embolization
This procedure involves blocking abnormal blood vessels or cutting off the blood supply in tumors, effectively shrinking them. This is a crucial technique for managing conditions like aneurysms, fibroids, and certain types of cancer.
Image-Guided Biopsy and Drainage
Using advanced imaging techniques like ultrasound, CT, or MRI, we can precisely locate areas of concern to obtain tissue samples for biopsy or drain excess fluids. This method ensures accuracy and minimizes discomfort.
Nephrostomy and Biliary Procedures
These techniques are designed to relieve obstructions in the urinary and biliary systems. Nephrostomy involves placing a tube through the skin into the kidney to drain urine, while biliary procedures help alleviate blockages in the bile ducts, often caused by stones, strictures, or tumors.
Pain Management
Our pain management services target chronic pain conditions using minimally invasive procedures. Techniques like nerve blocks, epidural injections, and joint injections provide significant pain relief, improving patients’ quality of life.
Vascular Access
We safely and efficiently place catheters and ports for patients requiring long-term medication administration, such as chemotherapy, dialysis, or antibiotic therapy. These procedures ensure reliable vascular access while minimizing complications.
Interventional Oncology
We offer cutting-edge treatments for cancer patients, including tumor ablation and chemoembolization. Tumor ablation involves destroying cancer cells with extreme heat or cold, while chemoembolization delivers high doses of chemotherapy directly to the tumor, minimizing systemic side effects.
Benefits of Interventional Radiology
Minimally Invasive
Our procedures are performed through small incisions, leading to less pain, reduced risk of infection, and faster recovery compared to traditional surgery. Patients can often return to their normal activities much sooner.
Real-Time Imaging
High-precision treatments are guided by real-time imaging, ensuring accurate targeting of the affected area. This technology allows for better outcomes and fewer complications.
Effective Treatments
Interventional radiology has proven efficacy in managing a wide range of medical conditions, offering patients effective alternatives to conventional surgery.
