INTERVENTIONAL RADIOLOGY TECHNIQUE

Interventional radiology technique is a specialized field that involves imaging the inside of the body, identifying diseases, and providing necessary techniques for treatment. Various imaging techniques such as ultrasonography, angiography, and computed tomography are used in this technique. Local anaesthesia is generally applied to the patient, and diagnosis and treatment can be achieved by entering the body through very small holes like needle punctures.

Interventional radiology technique is divided into two types: "vascular - involving diseases related to blood vessels" and "nonvascular - involving diseases outside of blood vessels". Cysts that can occur in many parts of the body can be treated with this method, or pathological samples taken can provide a diagnosis as to whether they are malignant or not thanks to this technique.

What are the fields of application of Interventional Radiology?

  • Treatment of arterial blockages
  • Endovascular treatment of aneurysms (vascular malformations)
  • Treatment of leg artery blockages
  • Treatment of carotid artery stenosis,
  • Opening of dialysis fistula blockages,
  • Buerger's disease,
  • Treatment of fibroids (fibroid embolization) and various women's health conditions,
  • Treatment of varicoceles,
  • Supportive treatments in oncology
  • Diagnostic procedures in various cancer treatments,
  • Needle biopsies,
  • Treatments of basic drainage such as bile and urinary tract treatments,
  • Treatments of cyst abscesses
  • Treatments of hepatobiliary diseases, such as liver, gallbladder, spleen, and pancreas,
  • Male infertility,
  • Treatment of endocrine system diseases, such as ablation of adrenal adenomas, sampling of adrenal arteries, parathyroid adenomas, and thyroid nodule treatments and biopsies.

What are the advantages of the Interventional Radiology technique?

  • The procedure is performed through needle-sized incisions, leaving no scars on the body,
  • Patients are usually discharged on the same day,
  • The risk is quite low, and the procedures are simple,
  • Patients can return to their normal lives quickly.

What Procedures Are Performed in Interventional Radiology?

Before the procedures, patients are instructed not to eat anything, and sedatives may be given if necessary. Prior to starting the procedure, local anaesthesia is applied to the area where the procedure will be performed to eliminate the sensation of pain, and the procedure begins.

Benefits of Interventional Radiology

Compared to open surgical procedures, interventional radiology causes less pain and less blood loss. Its use involves less risk for individuals who are at risk with anaesthesia.

Positive results are achieved by expert interventional radiologists in the field of interventional radiology, which is used in the diagnosis and treatment of many diseases from cancer to vascular occlusion. The quality and techniques of the imaging used during the procedures are also important for the quality of the procedure. The decision to use interventional radiology is made and applied by the doctor. Guides, catheters, and stents are among the main equipment used. The imaging methods and equipment used for each disease may vary. The interventional radiology procedure generally covers treatments performed under the control of imaging techniques.

Our doctors manage more effective diagnosis and treatment processes using 4-dimensional ultrasound devices. Laser treatment can be applied to all internal organs except the intestines. Scans can be performed in the clinic thanks to mobile ultrasound services. While patients are given a free ultrasound for one area, a fee of 600-700 GBP is charged for the remaining areas.
