Radiology
Best Radiology Centre in Kharadi Pune
Radiology is a medical speciality that utilises various imaging techniques to visualise the body's internal structures, aiding in understanding its function. This field is divided into two main areas: - diagnostic radiology (identifying the disease) and interventional radiology (treating the disease). A radiologist interprets and analyses the pictures generated through radiological techniques. The Department of Radiology at Manipal Hospitals, Pune, is equipped with the latest imaging methods and exceptionally skilled staff committed to providing accurate diagnosis and radiological services to patients.

Treatment & Procedures
The department of radiology provides imaging services for procedures such as stenting or angioplasty, wherein a catheter is guided into clogged arteries. A small balloon accompanies the catheter to open the artery, thereby allowing blood flow to occur.
Varicose veins are a symptom of weakened veins and valves in the legs. There are one-way valves that keep blood flowing upward from the legs toward the heart. When these valves don’t function properly, blood collects in the legs and pressure is built up. As a result, the veins become large, twisted and weak. Laser ablation treatment is done for this…
A biopsy involves the removal of small tissue samples or cells to diagnose the presence of a disease. This is generally an outpatient procedure and it involves minimal preparation.
Interventional radiologists at Manipal hospital coordinate closely with the Department of Oncology to help in the treatment of cancer patients. Some common procedures and treatments used are IRE, pre-op embolizations, percutaneous interventions radiofrequency ablation or transarterial chemo-embolization (TACE) or transarterial radio-embolization (TARE)…
This is a common condition that is usually the result of atherosclerosis which affects those with scar tissue and cholesterol buildup. Treatment mainly consists of catheter-directed thrombolysis, angioplasty and stenting and catheter assisted thrombectomy.
CT scan is done with the use of X-rays to take pictures of the patient’s body internally.
Fluoroscopy helps get a view of a specific internal region of the body. It uses images that are obtained via an X-ray beam and contrast dye being sent to a visual screen.
Blood clots are known as thrombus form in the deep leg vein and can lead to serious permanent damage that is referred to as a post-thrombotic syndrome. It can also lead to pulmonary embolism which is life-threatening. Interventional radiology provides treatment for this condition through IVC filter, catheter assisted thrombectomy and catheter-directed…
MRI detects many conditions in the upper and lower regions of the body. It involves a powerful magnetic field that is combined with radio waves to produce images of the body’s internal structures. This includes bones, organs, and soft tissues.
This procedure helps in the early detection of breast cancer. Images of breast tissue are captured for examination through low-dose X-rays.
Patients that suffer from renal failure or chronic kidney disease will undergo replacement therapy, which is in the form of dialysis. The Interventional Radiology department provides treatment such as AV fistula savage (through angioplasty), central vein angioplasty or stenting, perm catheter placement, peritoneal dialysis (catheter placement).
The sudden blockage of major arteries in the lung is caused by blood clots. The lungs can be damaged by these clots. Interventional radiology provides treatment in the form of catheter-directed thrombectomy/thrombolysis.
In some cases, regular radiology exams will not be able to obtain a specific image of the patient’s internal body and so nuclear medicine exams come into play. These types of exams use gamma rays along with a special camera to obtain the required images.
TIPS is a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt procedure th at is used to treat internal bleeding in the esophagus or stomach, for patients with cirrhosis. Imaging is used during the procedure to connect the portal and hepatic vein in the liver. A metal device known as a stent will hold the connection open, allowing blood flow from the bowel…
This therapy involves the use of cold, hot or chemical agents to treat cancerous tumors. Manipal hospital’s department of radiology specializes in the use of cryotherapy and microwave for tumor ablation.
Uterine fibroid embolization is used to treat fibroid tumors in the uterus. A catheter is steered through an artery to the uterus using fluoroscopy (x-ray imaging). It is a minimally invasive procedure and it is highly effective in pain reduction from fibroid tumors that are generally associated with menstrual bleeding.
If abnormalities are detected in the breast after a mammogram but cannot be physically detected, then a thin write inserted by a needle is used by the doctor to obtain tissue samples for a more accurate diagnosis of a breast mass.
X-rays are used to obtain images of the internal regions of the body. This helps doctors make accurate diagnoses
Radiology is used to diagnose and monitor a wide range of conditions. Common imaging examinations include:
- X-ray: Examines bones, chest, and abdomen
- Computed Tomography (CT): Captures multiple X-ray angles for detailed imaging
- Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): Uses magnetic fields and radio waves for organ imaging
- Mammogram: X-ray examination of the breast
- Ultrasound: Employs sound waves to create real-time images
- Fluoroscopy: Provides real-time X-ray viewing, crucial for certain procedures
- Nuclear Medicine: Uses small amounts of radiation to image tissues, bones, and organs
These techniques offer unique insights into the body's internal structures and functions, aiding in accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
