| |
 |
Vision is the art of seeing things invisible, Jonathan Swift once said. Taking a little liberty from the above, the Radiology Department of Sterling Hospital redefines VISION as the SCIENCE of seeing things invisible. The aim of Radiology Department at Sterling Hospital is to forge |
|
| |
links between medicine and science to improve the detection and treatment of diseases. Department of Radiology offers a wide range of clinical diagnostic and high quality therapeutic imaging and efficient services to the patients and their physicians. |

Interventional radiology is a relatively new area of radiology, that combines the use of imaging technology with therapeutic devices to perform minimally invasive procedures. The interventional radiologist performs |
|
a broad range of diagnostic and therapeutic imaging procedures for opening blocked blood vessels, draining abnormal collection of fluids, relieving hypertension, and managing gastrointestinal bleeding.
The benefits of interventional radiology over surgery include: Cost effectiveness, significant reduction of surgical pain and recovery time and no general anaesthesia.
Interventional radiologists at Sterling Hospital are specially Trained to perform following procedures: |
| » |
USG / CT guided biopsy and drainage procedures |
| » |
Diagnostic angiography |
| » |
Vascular angioplasty and stent placement |
| » |
Thrombolysis for stroke patient |
| » |
Embolization |
| » |
Biliary drainage, stenting, angioplasty, biopsy, and stone extraction |
| » |
Inferior vena cava filter placement |
| » |
Pain management (eg, celiac ganglion block, selective and non-selective nerve block) |
| » |
Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt insertion |
| » |
Venous access and foreign body retrieval |

The state of the art imaging system provides high quality precise imaging fro head to toe making it possible to detect abnormalities in any part of the body. Its high speed of scanning reduces exposure time, thus reducing patient discomfort during the imaging procedure. |
|
| |
CT Angiography can scan the whole body from head to toe in under 1 minute and identify abnormalities.
The CT Angiography finds extensive uses in |
