This process involves a radiologist examining CT scan images to accurately guide a needle's placement within the body. This technique is often used for biopsies or treatments, ensuring precision and safety.

An ultrasound of leg arteries or artery grafts is a non-invasive test using sound waves to create images of your blood vessels. This helps doctors assess blood flow, identify blockages, and monitor the health of grafts.

A central venous tube with port is a small, flexible tube inserted into a large vein, usually in the chest. It allows for easy administration of medication, fluids, or blood products over a long period. A port is attached under the skin for easy access. It's safe for individuals aged 5 and above.

An ultrasound scan of the abdominal aorta is a non-invasive imaging test. It uses sound waves to create pictures of the main blood vessel in your abdomen, the aorta, to check its size and shape. This helps detect any abnormalities or issues early.

The insertion of a tunneled central venous tube is a procedure where a thin, flexible tube is placed into a large vein, usually in the neck or chest. This tube allows healthcare providers to give medications, fluids, or nutrients directly into your bloodstream over a longer period.

This procedure involves a radiologist examining images of your arm or leg arteries. These images are obtained through a non-invasive method, like an ultrasound or CT scan. The radiologist reviews these images to identify any abnormalities, such as blockages or narrowing, which can affect blood flow.

This procedure involves replacing an existing kidney drainage tube. Using imaging technology, a radiologist precisely guides the process to ensure accuracy. This helps drain excess fluid from kidneys, improving their function and your comfort.

This procedure involves using sound waves to produce images of your arm and leg arteries. It helps identify blockages or abnormalities that could lead to conditions like stroke or peripheral artery disease. It's non-invasive and painless.

An ultrasound of leg arteries or artery grafts is a non-invasive imaging test. It uses high-frequency sound waves to capture live images from inside your body, specifically your leg arteries or grafts. This helps in detecting any blockages or abnormalities.

This procedure involves placing a tube into your vein's first branch. It's done to administer medications, fluids, or collect blood samples. You might feel a slight prick when the needle is inserted, but it's generally painless.

A needle biopsy of the liver through skin is a procedure where a small tissue sample from your liver is collected using a thin needle. This is done to diagnose liver diseases or conditions. It involves inserting the needle through your skin and into your liver.

This procedure involves placing a tube into a vein for medication or fluid delivery. Imaging guidance helps ensure correct placement, while a radiologist reviews the process for safety. It's suitable for patients aged 5 and above.

A tunneled central venous tube replacement is a procedure where an existing tube, used to deliver medication or nutrition directly to a large vein, is replaced. This is done under local anesthesia and involves inserting a new tube through a small incision.

Ultrasonic guidance for needle placement is a technique where sound waves create images that help accurately position the needle during procedures. This method ensures precision, minimizes discomfort, and increases safety.

A bone marrow biopsy and aspiration is a procedure where a small amount of bone marrow is removed for testing. It involves inserting a needle into a bone, typically the hip, to collect a sample. It can help diagnose various diseases and monitor treatment effectiveness.

This procedure involves a radiologist examining images of your liver veins to evaluate blood flow. It's a crucial step to detect abnormalities or blockages, ensuring your liver is receiving sufficient blood for its functions.

An ultrasound study of arm or leg veins with compression and maneuvers is a non-invasive procedure that uses sound waves to create images of your veins. This helps identify blood clots or other vein problems. During the procedure, pressure is applied to the veins and certain movements are performed to assess blood flow.
