A medical specialization that is a rapidly growing sector in the field of medicine and is involved in performing a range of imaging procedures which are done to get the inside view of the body. This medical specialization interprets the images carefully to get the proper idea of the injury or the disease occurring internally and then proceed with the required medical procedures. There are various techniques used by Interventional Radiologists to get the internal image of the body including X-Rays, Scanning, CT (Computed Tomography) Scans, MRIs (Magnetic resonance imaging) and Ultrasounds. Fluoroscopy is an advanced technology which is used to get the internal view of the body in motion. Interventional radiologists are perfectly trained medical staffs who have the knowledge of both Radiology and Interventional techniques. At present, a bunch of medical procedures is performed by Interventional Radiologists including treatment of tumors, taking organ biopsies and placing Catheters (a thin plastic tube inserted inside the body through artery or vein). By Interventional Radiology the use of traditional or laparoscopic surgery has been reduced as the images tell the exact position of the surgery and so catheters are placed very easily.
Advantages of Interventional Radiology:
Procedures involved in Interventional Radiology:
Apart from the above-mentioned procedure, there are several other procedures performed by Interventional Radiologists and the list of advancement in radiology is even expanding more.
Hospitals offering Interventional Radiology Treatment in India- Earlier this treatment was limited to only some of the hospitals and even the technology was also not much developed but in last some years our country has done a great achievement in this medical procedure and has made it specialized in the medical sector. Fortis Hospital, Max Healthcare, Nanavati Hospital, BLK Super Specialty Hospitals are some of the best hospitals providing optimal results with minimal risks.
Cost of Interventional Radiology Therapy- As compared to other countries the cost of Radiology treatment procedures is very less in India. If we check the price of Angioplasty in Britain then it costs around $25,000 there but in India, the same treatment would cost $6,000.
Challenges faced by the country:
Ways to overcome these issues- Proper management of the resources available can help to minimize the challenge of financial considerations. Another way to overcome the challenges is to provide the proper training to the radiologists so that everything would be managed well at a time.
