Understanding the difference between screening and diagnostic mammography is essential for effective breast care. Screening mammography is performed routinely in individuals without symptoms to detect early changes before they become noticeable. Diagnostic mammography is used when symptoms are present, or when findings such as microcalcifications or masses require further evaluation. Together, these approaches support timely […]
Fibroid size alone does not always determine symptom severity, as even small fibroids can cause pain or interfere with fertility. That said, larger fibroids, typically greater than 6–10 cm, are more likely to cause complications such as severe pelvic pain, pressure on surrounding organs, distortion of the uterine shape affecting fertility or pregnancy, anaemia from […]
Prostate Artery Embolisation (PAE) relies on a detailed understanding of the prostate’s vascular anatomy to relieve urinary symptoms. Advanced imaging allows interventional radiologists to trace each tiny artery supplying the prostate, ensuring micro particles are delivered precisely where needed. This selective blockage reduces blood flow to the gland, causing it to shrink over time while […]
Whole Body Composition Analysis offers deeper insight into cardiovascular risk than body weight alone. By measuring fat distribution, lean muscle mass and visceral fat, doctors and radiologists can better assess metabolic health and potential heart disease risk. Elevated visceral fat is strongly linked to hypertension, insulin resistance and cardiovascular disease. This level of analysis supports […]
Fallopian Tube Recanalisation is unique in that it allows both assessment and treatment in a single session. Using real-time imaging, tubal blockages are identified and gently reopened during the same procedure. This dual approach reduces the need for multiple interventions, shortens recovery time, and provides immediate confirmation of tubal patency. To find out whether FTR […]
Heart disease often develops silently, long before severe symptoms appear. Heart Health Awareness Month is a reminder to pause, listen to your body, and prioritise cardiovascular wellbeing at every stage of life. This February, we encourage awareness, prevention and proactive conversations about heart health – because looking after your heart is an investment in long-term […]
Today is a reminder that cancer touches far more lives than statistics can show. Behind every diagnosis is a person, a family and a journey that requires courage, support and clarity. On World Cancer Day, we stand with the patients, families and healthcare professionals working together towards earlier detection, better outcomes and continued progress 🎗️
When a breast imaging scan identifies an area requiring further assessment, your doctor may discuss biopsy options. One advanced technique is Vacuum-Assisted Biopsy (VAB). VAB is a minimally invasive, image-guided procedure. A needle attached to a vacuum device is used to collect multiple tissue samples through one small incision. This method allows for the removal […]
For women diagnosed with symptomatic uterine fibroids, several treatment options exist. One minimally invasive procedure is Uterine Fibroid Embolisation (UFE). UFE is performed by an interventional radiologist. Using image guidance, the specialist accesses an artery through a small puncture (often in the wrist or groin) to deliver tiny particles that reduce the blood supply to […]
Gastrointestinal imaging helps your doctor visualise your digestive tract. Different tests are used to evaluate different areas and symptoms. Common Studies Include: 🩺 Contrast Studies (Fluoroscopy): Barium Swallow: Examines the esophagus and stomach. Small Bowel Follow-Through: Tracks the journey of contrast through the small intestine. Enema (Barium or Contrast): Evaluates the large intestine/colon. 🔍 Advanced […]
