    Overview

  • Dr. Rajesh V. Helavar is an experienced radiologist in Bangalore. He is currently practising as a Senior Consultant - Interventional and Diagnostic Abdominal Radiology at Manipal Hospital Doddaballapur, Bangalore. 

  • With over nine years of expertise in radiology, Dr. Rajesh V. Helavar offers highly specialised care in both interventional and diagnostic abdominal radiology. His clinical acumen is backed by years of dedicated training and hands-on experience in advanced radiological procedures. He holds an MBBS degree from Bangalore and a postgraduate MD in Radiology. His pursuit of clinical excellence is evident in his ongoing training in advanced techniques like image-guided tumour ablation and abdominal interventions. At Manipal Hospital Doddaballapur, he provides comprehensive diagnostic services and minimally invasive image-guided treatments, ensuring patients benefit from precise diagnosis and faster recovery with minimal discomfort.

  • Dr. Helavar’s expertise covers a wide spectrum of interventional procedures, including both vascular and non-vascular interventions. On the non-vascular side, he performs procedures such as ultrasound and CT-guided biopsies, biliary stenting, percutaneous nephrostomy, abscess drainage, and microwave or radiofrequency tumour ablations. His vascular interventions include diagnostic angiographies, transjugular liver biopsies, chemoembolisation of liver tumours, uterine artery embolisation, AV fistula management, and peripheral angioplasty. These procedures help manage complex conditions with minimal invasiveness, reducing hospital stays and speeding up patient recovery.

  • In diagnostic abdominal radiology, Dr. Helavar brings specialised knowledge in evaluating liver, kidney, gallbladder, pancreas, and intestinal disorders. He is particularly skilled in the imaging assessment of transplant donors and recipients, identifying bile duct obstructions, staging of abdominal malignancies, and monitoring cirrhotic liver changes. His diagnostic precision plays a vital role in early detection and timely intervention, directly impacting patient outcomes.

  • In addition to his clinical practice, Dr. Helavar actively contributes to academic research and medical education. His published work on echinococcosis and spinal deformities has earned recognition, and he continues to participate in conferences where he shares insights on interventional radiology applications in gastroenterology and obstetrics. His talks on complex hernias, liver interventions, and abdominal tumour management have been appreciated by both national and international peers.

  • Dr. Helavar also plays an active role in several professional organisations. His memberships include the Indian Society of Vascular and Interventional Radiology, Indian Radiology and Imaging Association, and European Society of Radiology, among others. These affiliations keep him connected with global advancements in his field and reinforce his commitment to evidence-based care. His active engagement with peers, along with his commitment to staying updated, helps him continuously evolve his approach to patient management.

  • Dr. Rajesh V. Helavar combines technical excellence with compassionate care. He focuses on educating patients about their condition and procedure, ensuring they feel informed and confident throughout their treatment journey. His patient-first approach makes him a reliable and trusted radiologist for individuals facing both routine and complex health concerns.

  • Fluent in multiple languages, Dr. Helavar communicates clearly with patients from diverse backgrounds, ensuring a comfortable and reassuring experience for every individual under his care.
