About Image Guided Interventions
Key Highlights
-
Minimally invasive with no large surgical incisions.High precision targeting using real-time imaging (CT, MRI, Ultrasound, Fluoroscopy).Typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation.Reduced pain and discomfort compared to open surgery.Lower risk of infection and bleeding.Shorter procedure times and faster recovery.liOften performed as an outpatient procedure or with a very short hospital stay./li/ul

- Tumor ablation (destroying tumors with heat, cold, or chemicals).
- Angiography and vascular interventions (stent placement, embolization to stop bleeding).
- Pain management procedures (nerve blocks, vertebroplasty for spinal fractures).
- Placement of central venous access lines or feeding tubes.
- Treatment of uterine fibroids (Uterine Artery Embolization).

Aadya Khan, a 42-year-old high school...
Aadya Khan, a 42-year-old high school biology teacher and mother of two, had been experiencing debilitating back pain for over a year. An avid gardener, she found herself unable to tend to her beloved roses. MRI scans revealed a large, painful benign tumor (an osteoid osteoma) pressing on nerves in her lumbar spine. Her orthopedic surgeon, concerned about the risks of open spinal surgery, referred her to an interventional radiologist, Dr. Chen. Dr. Chen recommended a minimally invasive procedure called radiofrequency ablation (RFA), using real-time CT imaging to guide a tiny needle directly into the tumor to destroy it with heat. Terrified of spinal surgery but desperate for relief, Aadya agreed. During the 90-minute procedure under conscious sedation, she felt pressure but no sharp pain. She was discharged the same day with only a small bandage. Within a week, her pain had diminished by 80%. Six weeks later, she was back in her garden, pain-free. Her emotional journey shifted from fear and frustration over her lost mobility to profound gratitude for a treatment that gave her her life back with minimal disruption.
