MIC is pleased to add Prostate Artery Embolisation to our list of Interventional Radiology procedures. Prostate Artery Embolisation (PAE) is a minimally invasive procedure that will reduce urinary symptoms caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). PAE involves the targeted release of microscopic particles into the arteries that feed the prostate gland, reducing its blood supply. […]
Fallopian Tube Recanalisation (FTR) is a non-surgical procedure to clear any blockages in the fallopian tubes.

Please send us a message if you would like to learn more about FTR, or visit our website for […]
MIC is pleased to include Prostate Biopsies among our Interventional Radiology Procedures. A Prostate Biopsy procedure involves taking a tissue sample from the prostate to check for signs of cancer, and can be an invaluable tool for early detection. Your doctor may recommend a prostate biopsy if a PSA test or physical exam shows […]

Fibroids are benign tumours in the uterus that can significantly contribute to painful periods. One reason for this is the elevated levels of prostaglandins, naturally occurring chemicals in the body that promote inflammation and pain. When you have fibroids, these prostaglandins can lead to increased inflammation in the uterus and heavier menstrual bleeding. Uterine Fibroid […]
The answer is yes, but the likelihood is low. Studies show that Uterine Fibroid Embolisation (UFE) effectively treats fibroids, with just a small chance of the targeted fibroids regrowing. It may be the unlikely case that new fibroids form, rather than the recurrence of treated ones. For more information about fibroids and non-invasive solutions, please […]
When it comes to booking health scans the type you need will depend on your symptoms and your doctor’s recommendations.
