Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology

Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology

The Diagnostic & Interventional Radiology Department at Unico Hospital PLC provides advanced imaging and minimally invasive image-guided procedures to support the accurate diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of a wide range of medical conditions. By combining modern imaging technology with specialized expertise, the department plays an important role throughout the patient care journey.

What Is Diagnostic & Interventional Radiology?

Diagnostic Radiology uses advanced imaging techniques to create detailed pictures of the body's internal structures. These images help doctors detect diseases, identify injuries, plan treatments, and monitor how patients respond to therapy.

Interventional Radiology (IR) uses real-time imaging guidance to perform selected minimally invasive procedures through small incisions or needle punctures. These techniques can provide targeted treatment while reducing the need for conventional open surgery in appropriate cases.

Diagnostic Imaging Services

Depending on the patient's condition, the department provides access to a range of diagnostic imaging services, including:

• X-Ray
• Ultrasound
• CT Scan
• MRI
• Doppler Studies
• Image-Guided Diagnostic Procedures
• Specialized Radiological Investigations

These imaging techniques can assist in evaluating conditions affecting the brain, chest, abdomen, pelvis, bones, joints, blood vessels, and other organs.

Interventional Radiology Procedures

Interventional Radiology offers minimally invasive, image-guided options for selected medical conditions. Depending on clinical requirements, procedures may include:

• Image-guided biopsies
• Fluid drainage procedures
• Abscess drainage
• Vascular and non-vascular interventions
• Image-guided pain and therapeutic procedures
• Catheter-based procedures
• Other minimally invasive interventions

The exact procedure is selected according to the patient's diagnosis, medical history, and overall health.

Image-Guided Precision

One of the key advantages of Interventional Radiology is the ability to use imaging guidance during procedures. Ultrasound, CT, fluoroscopy, or other imaging techniques can help specialists accurately locate the area requiring treatment and guide instruments to the targeted site.

For appropriately selected patients, minimally invasive procedures may result in smaller incisions, less tissue disruption, and potentially shorter recovery times compared with certain conventional surgical approaches.

Supporting Accurate Diagnosis & Treatment

Radiology is an essential part of modern healthcare. Diagnostic imaging can help physicians identify a condition at an early stage, assess its severity, plan treatment, and monitor progress over time.

The department works closely with specialists from Emergency Medicine, Cardiology, Oncology, Neurosurgery, Orthopedics, Gastroenterology, Urology, General Surgery, Critical Care, and other departments to provide coordinated diagnostic and therapeutic support.
