Radiology Treatment in Chennai

The Department of Radiology at Pranav Med Hospital is equipped with cutting-edge technology, elevating our standards to support both diagnostic and interventional services for a range of multi-specialty conditions. Radiology is a medical field that utilizes X-rays and other forms of radiation to diagnose and treat diseases. It encompasses two main branches: diagnostic radiology, which focuses on imaging for diagnosis, and interventional radiology, which involves minimally invasive procedures guided by imaging techniques.

Diagnostic radiology

Diagnostic radiology employs radiation to create images of the body's anatomical structures, aiding in patient diagnosis. Specialists in interpreting these x-ray images are known as diagnostic radiologists. This field supports physicians and healthcare professionals by diagnosing the causes of symptoms, monitoring the body's response to treatment, and screening for major health conditions.

Interventional Radiology

In Interventional Radiology, physicians use imaging techniques such as CT, ultrasound, MRI, and fluoroscopy to perform both diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. This approach minimizes patient expenses and risks while reducing recovery time, allowing for a quicker return to daily activities. By utilizing advanced technology, interventional radiology enables physicians to examine various parts of the body through a scope (camera) via small incisions, rather than direct internal exploration. This technique is frequently employed to treat conditions like cancer or tumors, arterial and venous blockages, uterine fibroids, liver issues, and kidney problems.
