These techniques include FNAC, biopsies, abscess drainage, fluid tapping, and pigtail catheter insertions, offering precise, targeted treatment with minimal discomfort and faster recovery. By combining advanced imaging with expert technique, radiological interventions provide effective solutions for conditions that once required surgery, improving patient outcomes with reduced risk and downtime.
A minimally invasive procedure to extract cells from a lump or mass using a thin needle.
Guided by ultrasound or CT, it helps diagnose infections, cysts, or tumors.
Quick, safe, and often used for thyroid, breast, or lymph node evaluation.
A targeted procedure to obtain tissue samples from suspicious areas for diagnosis.
Imaging guidance ensures precision and safety during sampling.
Commonly used for liver, lung, kidney, or abdominal masses.
A procedure to remove pus from an infected area using a needle or catheter.
Performed under ultrasound or CT guidance to treat deep abscesses.
Reduces infection, relieves symptoms, and supports faster healing.
Placement of a thin, flexible catheter (pigtail) to continuously drain fluid or pus.
Used in cases like pleural effusion, abscesses, or ascites.
Minimally invasive and performed under imaging guidance for accuracy.
Draining large volumes of fluid from the abdomen to relieve discomfort.
Used in cases of severe ascites due to liver disease or cancer.
Improves breathing, reduces pain, and prevents complications.
Removal of a small sample of abdominal fluid for lab analysis.
Helps identify infection, malignancy, or cause of fluid accumulation.
Simple, safe, and performed under ultrasound guidance.
Drains excess fluid from the chest cavity to relieve breathlessness.
Used in conditions like pleural effusion, infections, or cancer.
Improves lung expansion and patient comfort.
Collects a sample of fluid from around the lungs for testing.
Assists in diagnosing infections, malignancies, or tuberculosis.
Performed with imaging to ensure safe and accurate sampling.
