Restoring natural fertility with FTR

One recognised cause of infertility is fallopian tube obstruction. Fallopian Tube Recanalisation (FTR) is a minimally invasive procedure performed under imaging guidance, in which a small catheter is used to attempt reopening the affected tube. In appropriately selected patients, this may improve the possibility of natural conception and can be an alternative to more extensive surgical interventions.

If you have been diagnosed with tubal blockage and would like information about FTR, please visit our website.

The importance of yearly mammograms after 40

Yearly mammograms after 40 are essential for early detection of breast cancer. Regular screening helps identify abnormalities long before symptoms appear. Detecting changes early improves treatment options and outcomes. Mammograms remain one of the most reliable tools for monitoring breast health and preventing late-stage diagnoses. Make your mammogram a yearly commitment to proactive care.

Managing Benign Thyroid Nodules with MWA

Benign thyroid nodules can be managed using several approaches, including minimally invasive techniques. Thyroid Microwave Ablation (MWA) is one such option. It uses controlled thermal energy delivered through a small probe, guided precisely to the nodule under imaging. This technique aims to reduce nodule size while maintaining surrounding thyroid tissue.

MWA is performed as an outpatient procedure and typically uses local anaesthesia. As it does not involve a surgical incision, visible scarring is avoided, and recovery times vary by individual.

For patients diagnosed with benign thyroid nodules who would like factual information about MWA, further details are available on our website.

For men who want more options

Prostate Artery Embolisation offers men a modern, minimally invasive alternative for treating an enlarged prostate. For those seeking options beyond lifelong medication or invasive surgery, PAE provides meaningful relief. By reducing blood flow to the prostate, the procedure allows it to shrink gradually, easing urinary symptoms and improving daily comfort. With minimal downtime and no surgical incision, PAE empowers men to choose a tailored approach to prostate health. If you’ve been diagnosed with BPH, speak to your doctor about PAE as a treatment option, or visit our website to learn more.

How ultrasound pinpoints exact biopsy locations

Ultrasound-guided biopsies are highly effective because imaging and needle movement occur simultaneously. As the probe glides over the skin, it produces clear visualisation of the lesion, blood vessels and surrounding anatomy. The radiologist follows these images to ensure the needle reaches the exact location required for sampling. This method improves safety and accuracy, particularly for abnormalities not visible on mammography. It also offers a comfortable, minimally invasive patient experience. For more information about this technique, visit our website.

Stereotactic Breast Biopsy – What to expect during the procedure.

During a stereotactic breast biopsy, digital mammography guides the radiologist to the precise area requiring assessment. Once the breast is positioned, local anaesthesia is used to numb the region, followed by a small opening that allows the needle to collect tissue samples for diagnosis. This targeted approach minimises trauma and supports a quicker recovery — with most patients able to resume light activities shortly after the procedure.
