At Almana Hospital, our Interventional Radiology (IR) department utilizes cutting-edge technology to offer a wide range of minimally invasive procedures for a variety of medical conditions.

What is Interventional Radiology?

IR combines image-guided techniques with advanced catheters and other instruments to perform precise procedures without the need for traditional open surgery. This minimally invasive approach offers numerous advantages for patients:

Faster recovery times: Smaller incisions translate to quicker healing and shorter hospital stays.
Reduced pain: Minimally invasive procedures typically cause less discomfort than traditional surgery.
Fewer risks: These procedures generally carry lower risks of complications compared to open surgery.

Our IR department is at the forefront of technology, equipped with:

Fluoroscopy (real-time X-ray imaging)
Ultrasound
CT scan (computed tomography)

Here are some conditions we treat using Interventional Radiology:

Uterine fibroid embolization: A minimally invasive option to address uterine fibroids, reducing symptoms like heavy bleeding and pelvic pain.
Angioplasty and stenting: Opens blocked arteries and improves blood flow in various areas, including the heart, legs, and brain.
Tumor ablation: Destroys cancerous or non-cancerous tumors using heat, cold, or other methods.
Varicose vein treatment: Offers minimally invasive options to address varicose veins.
Pain management procedures: IR can deliver pain-relieving medications directly to the source of pain, such as the spine or joints.
Drainage procedures: IR can be used to drain abscesses or fluid collections in various parts of the body.
