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.
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
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
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.
🩺 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.
A: No. These are minimally invasive, often needle-based, and done with imaging—not surgery.
🅰️ Only mild discomfort at the needle site; local anesthesia is used to numb the area.
🅰️ Most procedures take 20 to 60 minutes, depending on complexity.
🅰️ Minor risks like bleeding or infection are rare. Everything is done under sterile conditions by experts.
🅰️ No – most patients can go home after a few hours, unless medically advised otherwise.
