What Are Interventional Procedures?

Interventional Radiology (IR) involves minimally invasive procedures performed using real-time imaging like Ultrasound, CT, or X-ray to diagnose and treat various medical conditions—without open surgery.

These procedures are often done using small needles or catheters, resulting in less pain, fewer complications, and faster recovery.

At Dr. Anand’s Imaging & Neurological Research Centre, we provide a range of safe, accurate, image-guided interventional treatments by trained specialists in a hygienic, sterile, and monitored setup.

✅ How Does It Help?

Interventional procedures are ideal for:

  • 🩸 Draining fluid or pus from infected areas (abscess, liver, lung, etc.)

  • 🔍 Image-guided biopsy of suspicious growths or masses

  • 🦴 Joint or spine injections for pain relief (e.g. in slipped disc, arthritis)

  • 💉 FNAC (Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology) for diagnosing tumors

  • 🫁 Pleural or ascitic tapping for fluid removal in chest or abdomen

  • 🚫 Avoiding major surgery when only a targeted solution is required

How Does It Work?

  • A radiologist uses Ultrasound, CT Scan, or X-ray guidance to precisely locate the target area

  • A thin needle, catheter or probe is inserted through the skin under local anesthesia

  • The abnormal fluid is drained or a tissue sample is taken for testing

  • The patient is monitored and usually discharged the same day

🛏️ Most procedures are day-care, with minimal pain or recovery time

🧪 Common Types of Interventional Procedures We Perform:

1. 🔬 Image-Guided Biopsies

To confirm the presence of cancer, infection, or other diseases in organs like liver, lungs, lymph nodes, breast, or thyroid.

2. 💉 FNAC (Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology)

Quick and accurate tissue sampling using thin needles—done under imaging guidance.

3. 🧫 Abscess Drainage

Ultrasound or CT-guided fluid removal from infected areas without surgery.

4. 🧘‍♂️ Joint & Spine Injections

Pain-relieving steroid injections in knees, shoulders, back or spine – especially helpful in arthritis or slipped disc cases.

5. 🫁 Pleural / Ascitic Tapping

Safe removal of excess fluid from around the lungs or abdomen.

🧍‍♀️ Preparation & Safety

  • 🩺 Most procedures require no general anesthesia

  • ⏱️ Fasting may be required for 4–6 hours depending on procedure

  • 💊 Inform us about blood thinners or any major health conditions

  • 📜 Consent is taken before procedure; vital signs are monitored throughout

  • 🧴 Site is cleaned and fully sterilized before needle insertion

All procedures are conducted under strict aseptic protocol by trained experts.
