Image-guided biopsies, performed using ultrasound (USG) or computed tomography (CT), provide a minimally invasive method to obtain tissue samples for diagnostic evaluation. These procedures are crucial for detecting cancers, infections, or inflammatory diseases affecting various organs. Using real-time imaging, interventional radiologists can precisely…
Abscess drainage and biliary interventions are crucial in interventional radiology, helping manage infections, obstructions, and organ dysfunctions. Abscess drainage involves inserting a catheter under ultrasound or CT guidance to drain infected fluid collections in the liver, abdomen, or soft tissues, preventing sepsis and reducing the need for open…
Percutaneous nephrostomy and cholecystostomy are life-saving interventional procedures used to manage obstructive kidney and gallbladder conditions. Percutaneous nephrostomy is performed when the normal urine flow from the kidney to the bladder is blocked due to kidney stones, tumours, or strictures. Using fluoroscopy or ultrasound guidance, a catheter…
Tumour ablation is a minimally invasive procedure used to destroy cancerous tissues in the liver, kidney, and bone without the need for open surgery. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and microwave ablation (MWA) are advanced techniques that use heat energy to induce coagulative necrosis, effectively eliminating tumours while preserving surrounding healthy…
Breast lesion biopsy, localisation, and non-surgical treatments play a crucial role in diagnosing and managing breast abnormalities with precision and minimal invasiveness. A breast lesion biopsy is performed to obtain a tissue sample from a suspicious lump or abnormality detected on imaging, such as mammography or ultrasound. The biopsy can be done…
Angiography and venography are essential imaging techniques in interventional radiology used to diagnose and treat vascular conditions affecting arteries and veins. Angiography is a minimally invasive procedure that visualises blood flow in arteries using a contrast dye and fluoroscopy. It helps detect blockages, aneurysms, arterial malformations,…
Liver tumour chemoembolisation is an advanced, minimally invasive treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and metastatic liver cancer. This procedure, known as transarterial chemoembolisation (TACE), targets liver tumours by delivering high-dose chemotherapy directly into the tumour while simultaneously blocking its blood supply. Using image guidance,…
Preoperative embolisation of tumours is a specialised interventional radiology procedure used to reduce the blood supply to highly vascular tumours before surgical removal. This technique significantly decreases intraoperative blood loss, enhances surgical precision, and lowers the risk of complications. Using image guidance, a catheter is inserted…
Uterine artery embolisation (UAE) is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat symptomatic uterine fibroids and abnormal uterine bleeding by reducing blood flow to the uterus. This procedure is an effective alternative to hysterectomy and myomectomy, allowing women to preserve their uterus while alleviating symptoms such as heavy menstrual bleeding,…
Peripheral angioplasty and stenting are minimally invasive procedures to restore blood flow in narrowed or blocked arteries outside the heart, primarily in the legs, arms, and abdomen. Peripheral artery disease (PAD), often caused by atherosclerosis, leads to plaque buildup in the arteries, restricting circulation and causing symptoms like leg pain,…
Vascular access procedures involve the insertion of specialised catheters to facilitate long-term administration of medications, fluids, and nutrition, as well as for dialysis and blood sampling. These minimally invasive techniques provide a safe and efficient way to deliver treatment while reducing the need for repeated needle punctures. Peripherally…
Thyroid nodule ablation is a minimally invasive procedure that uses thermal energy to shrink benign thyroid nodules, offering an effective alternative to surgery. Benign thyroid nodules are common and can cause neck discomfort, difficulty swallowing, voice changes, and cosmetic concerns due to visible swelling. While traditional treatments include…
Uterine Fibroid Embolisation (UFE) is a minimally invasive procedure that treats symptomatic fibroids by blocking their blood supply, causing them to shrink and gradually resolve. Fibroids are noncancerous growths in the uterus that can lead to heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, pressure symptoms, and fertility concerns. Traditional treatments…
Varicose vein treatment involves minimally invasive techniques to close faulty veins, improving blood circulation and alleviating symptoms such as pain, swelling, and skin discolouration. Varicose veins occur when vein walls weaken, causing blood to pool and veins to enlarge, often leading to heaviness, cramping, and visible bulging veins in the legs.…
Prostate Artery Embolisation (PAE) is a minimally invasive procedure that reduces the size of an enlarged prostate, relieving symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). BPH is a common condition in ageing men, causing urinary difficulties such as frequent urination, weak urine flow, incomplete emptying, and nocturia. Traditional treatments include…
Genicular Artery Embolisation (GAE) is a cutting-edge, minimally invasive procedure that alleviates chronic knee pain caused by osteoarthritis (OA). Osteoarthritis results from the gradual breakdown of cartilage in the knee joint, leading to inflammation, stiffness, and persistent pain. In many cases, patients rely on painkillers, steroid injections,…

"Interventional Radiology" (IR) is a specialised field in radiology where image guidance is used to perform a wide range of minimally invasive imaging procedures. These procedures are performed to treat tumours, taking biopsy samples from tumours, placing stents, control or prevent abnormal bleeding, etc. These procedures are performed in a Cath-Lab. Examples of imaging modalities used to perform these procedures include magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computerized tomography (CT) scan, ultrasound and fluoroscopy.
Interventional radiology procedures are mostly minimally invasive procedures performed through a tiny incision. Compared to the traditional open surgeries, these procedures are equally effective, less risky, less painful, offers speedy recovery, shorter hospitalization, with improved outcomes.
Some common imaging techniques used by Interventional radiologists while performing interventional procedures include x-ray, ultrasound, fluoroscopy, computerized tomography (CT) scan, and occasionally magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Before an interventional radiology procedure, inform your doctor about all the medications, your medical history, recent infections, illness, surgery, etc. Women should inform their doctor if they are pregnant or planning pregnancy. Make sure you follow all the instructions given to you by your doctor about the type of medications and diet to be taken before the procedure. Make sure to arrange for someone to drive you back home after the procedure and arrange for help at home for a couple of days or until you feel better. Interventional Radiologists will give you instructions specific to your procedure.
