Oncology
Pinhole minimally invasive image-guided therapeutic procedures for the treatment of cancers afflicting the human body.
Cancer is a disease in which some of the body’s cells grow uncontrollably and sometimes spread to other parts of the body.
Localized cancer is usually found only in the tissue or organ where it began, and has not spread to nearby lymph nodes or to other parts of the body. Some localized cancers can be completely removed by surgery.
Types

Interventional Procedures
- Transarterial chemoembolization
- Transarterial radioembolization
Compression fractures which have become cancerous are called malignant compression fracture & can be either metastatic or primary (bone tumours, multiple myeloma, malignant lymphoma, leukaemia etc.).
Interventional Procedures
- Vertebroplasty
Interventional Radiology is used to provide medium and long term access to larger veins for chemotherapy during cancer treatment
Interventional Procedures
- Chemoport insertion-A Chemoport is a small medical appliance that is installed beneath the skin. A catheter connects the port to a vein. Under the skin, the port has a septum through which drugs can be injected and blood samples can be drawn many times, usually with less discomfort for the patient than a more typical “needle stick
- PICC line insertion-A peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC), also called a PICC line, is a long, thin tube that's inserted through a vein in your arm and passed through to the larger veins near your heart. Very rarely, the PICC line may be placed in your leg.
Lipiodol (Ethiodized Oil) Injection
Lipiodol (ethiodized oil) Injection is a radio-opaque contrast agent used for hysterosalpingography in adults, lymphography in adult and pediatric patients, and selective hepatic intra-arterial use for imaging tumors in adults
Contour™ PVA Embolization Particles
The Contour PVA Embolization particles are small and irregular flakes of polyvinyl alcohol, which are used for permanent occlusion within a blood vessel. The Contour PVA Embolization Particles have been proven to be safe and effective in many clinical scenarios for decades.
Radiofrequency Ablation
Radiofrequency ablation for cancer is a minimally invasive procedure that uses electrical energy and heat to destroy cancer cells. The radiologist uses imaging tests to guide a thin needle through the skin or through an incision and into the cancer tissue.
Chemo Port
A chemo port is a small, implantable reservoir with a thin silicone tube that attaches to a vein. The main advantage of this vein-access device is that chemotherapy medications can be delivered directly into the port rather than a vein, eliminating the need for needle sticks.
