Procedural Radiology

Procedural radiology, or interventional radiology uses imaging such as ultrasound, CT and X-ray to guide minimally invasive procedures.
PROCEDURAL RADIOLOGY VIDEO THUMBNAIL USE

Procedural radiology involves minimally invasive procedures performed using imaging guidance, such as ultrasound, X-ray or CT, to accurately target a specific area of the body. These procedures may include biopsies, joint or spinal injections, fluid drainage and other image-guided treatments recommended by your referring practitioner. By using real-time imaging, the radiologist can carefully guide a fine needle or specialised instrument to the required location, often avoiding the need for more invasive surgery. The duration of your appointment will depend on the type and complexity of the procedure. Our team will provide clear preparation instructions and explain what to expect before your appointment.

The procedures are generally quick, involve small incisions (if any), and often allow you to return to normal activities sooner than with traditional surgery.
