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 […]
For men with symptoms of an enlarged prostate (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia or BPH), understanding different treatment approaches is key. Two common procedures are: ▪ TURP (Transurethral Resection of the Prostate): A surgical procedure to remove prostate tissue. It is performed under anesthesia and may involve a hospital stay. ▪ PAE (Prostate Artery Embolisation): A minimally […]
Cardiac imaging helps your doctor assess heart structure, function, and blood flow. Different tests provide different information: ❤️ Echocardiogram (Echo): Uses ultrasound waves to create real-time moving images of your heart’s chambers, valves, and pumping action. ❤️ CT Calcium Score: A quick, non-contrast CT scan that measures calcium plaque buildup in coronary arteries, helping assess […]
When your doctor recommends a diagnostic scan, you may wonder about the difference between a CT (Computed Tomography) scan and an MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scan. Both are powerful imaging tools, but they work differently and provide unique information. CT Scan: Uses X-rays to create detailed cross-sectional images of the body. It is exceptionally fast […]
