Interventional radiology uses advanced imaging such as CT, ultrasound and X-ray to guide minimally invasive procedures. By avoiding the need for traditional open surgery, we can ensure more precise treatment. That means patients can typically expect less pain, less scarring and a faster recovery. At The Physicians’ Clinic, many procedures can be carried out on-site, with access to the enviable HCA UK private hospital network if needed.
The interventional radiology services we offer include:
- Image-guided biopsies: to take tissue samples safely and accurately.
- Image-guided joint injections: to relieve pain.
- Stent insertion: to support blood vessels and reduce the risk of pulmonary embolism.
- Catheter-directed thrombolysis: to break down blood clots detected in blood vessels.
