Interventional Radiology

Interventional radiology, synonymous with vascular and interventional radiology (VIR), stands as a medical frontier where sophisticated imaging techniques intersect with minimally invasive procedures. At Koru Hospitals, our Interventional Radiology Team spearheads groundbreaking initiatives, utilizing cutting-edge technologies to diagnose and treat a spectrum of medical conditions with precision and finesse.

Imaging Technologies

Our arsenal of imaging technologies includes X-rays, ultrasound, CT scans, and MRI, providing a holistic view of internal structures. These tools empower our interventional radiologists to meticulously guide catheters, needles, and wires, ensuring procedures are not only minimally invasive but also remarkably accurate.

• X-rays: Guiding catheters and instruments to specific anatomical sites, allowing for real-time visualization during procedures.
• Ultrasound: High-frequency sound waves enable dynamic imaging of organs, tissues, and blood vessels, guiding procedures like biopsies and drainage with unparalleled accuracy.
• CT Scans (Computed Tomography): Combining X-rays and advanced computer technology, CT scans provide detailed images crucial for guiding needle biopsies and drainages.
• MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging): Employing a potent magnetic field and radio waves, MRI facilitates detailed imaging for targeted biopsies and MR-guided focused ultrasound treatments.

Procedures Offered

Our commitment to comprehensive care is reflected in the diverse range of interventional radiology procedures we offer:

• Angioplasty: A procedure to open narrowed or blocked blood vessels, often utilizing a balloon-tipped catheter to enhance blood flow.
• Stenting: The placement of a stent (a small mesh tube) to support and keep a blood vessel or other tubular structure open.
• Embolization: Deliberate blocking of blood vessels, often employed to control bleeding or treat abnormal blood vessels.
• Biopsy: Precise extraction of tissue samples for diagnostic evaluation, guided by advanced imaging techniques.
• Drainage Procedures: Interventional radiology aids in the guided drainage of fluid collections, enhancing patient comfort and recovery.

Collaborative Care Approach

Our Interventional Radiology Team seamlessly collaborates with specialists across disciplines, ensuring a patient-centric approach. This collaborative effort results in tailored, comprehensive care that addresses the unique needs of each individual.
