Less invasive, more effective.

 

An ultrasound-guided biopsy is a procedure that uses ultrasound imaging to precisely guide a needle to the area of interest, to obtain a tissue sample for testing. This method provides a safe and accurate way to assess whether cancer is present. The procedure involves no major surgery and is performed with local anesthesia, making it comfortable for the patient. Ultrasound imaging allows the doctor to navigate to the targeted tissue with great precision, ensuring the sample is taken from the right spot.

Am I a good candidate for UFE?

Uterine Fibroid Embolisation (UFE) is a pinhole procedure that offers relief from fibroids without the need for invasive surgery. But how do you know if you’re a good candidate for UFE? If symptoms like heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, or frequent urination due to fibroids are impacting your quality of life, UFE could be the right treatment for you. Ideal candidates are those who wish to avoid the risks and recovery time associated with traditional surgery.

What can DEXA diagnose?

A Bone Density Scan (DEXA) is an imaging test that helps to assess your bone health. This is a non-invasive procedure used to measure bone mineral density, helping to diagnose conditions like osteoporosis. By evaluating the strength of your bones, a DEXA scan provides early insights into potential risks of fractures, especially in women over 50 or those at higher risk. If you are concerned about your bone health or there is osteoporosis in your family, a DEXA scan could be the first step in proactive care.

Link between Fibroids & Anemia

Did you know that fibroids can make you more vulnerable to developing anaemia? This is due to the loss of iron-rich haemoglobin, which is crucial for transporting oxygen throughout the body. Anaemia can lead to several complications including chronic fatigue, and should never be ignored 🌸   

FTR vs IVF

Fallopian Tube Recanalisation (FTR) and In-vitro fertilisation (IVF) are both fertility treatments, but very different in emotional, physical and monetary cost. If you are considering IVF and have not yet explored FTR, it might be worth eliminating the simple possibility of blocked fallopian tubes before starting the significant journey of IVF. Please send us a DM or visit our website for more 👉🏾https://mic.co.zw/ftr/

Are fibroids affecting your life?

Uterine Fibroid Embolisation can offer life-altering relief from fibroids. Without the need for invasive surgery, this quick and relatively painless procedure is the starting point to achieve long-term, significant improvement. Through a tiny incision in the wrist, micro particles are injected into the targeted fibroids to halt their blood supply. As a result, the targeted fibroids shrink and will eventually disappear. This procedure is conducted in less than an hour, with just one night hospital stay recommended for observation. If you have been diagnosed and UFE sounds like the right treatment for you, please send us a DM or visit our website for more 👉🏾 https://mic.co.zw/ufe/ 

New Procedure!

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. Following this procedure, the prostate will begin to shrink, relieving and improving symptoms, usually within days. If you have been diagnosed with BPH and would like to learn more about PAE, please send us a message or visit our website 👉🏾 https://mic.co.zw/pae/ 

Why choose FTR?

Fallopian Tube Recanalisation (FTR) is a non-surgical procedure to clear any blockages in the fallopian tubes. It is used to treat infertility caused by blocked fallopian tubes, and can potentially improve a woman’s chances of conception. Please send us a message if you would like to learn more about FTR, or visit our website for more 👉🏾 https://mic.co.zw/ftr/ 

Introducing Prostate Biopsies!

 

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 abnormalities. Please send us a message if you would like to receive more information ⚕️

Happy World Radiography Day!

November 8th is World Radiography Day, an opportunity to highlight the vital role our Interventional Radiologists and Radiographers play in diagnosing and treating our patients, while making use of image guided techniques. Today we are extending our thanks and gratitude to the incredible team at MIC Radiology Group ❤️💙
