Interventional Radiology (IR) is an innovative medical specialty that uses advanced imaging technology—such as X-rays, ultrasound, CT scans, and MRI—to guide minimally invasive procedures. IR specialists perform precise, targeted treatments through small skin punctures, avoiding the need for traditional open surgery. The result is safer, quicker procedures, reduced pain, and faster recovery periods.
At Busamed, our highly skilled interventional radiologists utilise state-of-the-art imaging equipment to provide effective, customised treatments for a wide variety of conditions, including those affecting blood vessels, internal organs, and specific tumours. Our teams collaborate closely with numerous specialists such as cardiologists, oncologists, surgeons, and nephrologists, ensuring holistic, comprehensive patient care.
Busamed hospitals boast leading-edge imaging and interventional technology that allows our specialists to provide exceptional care with precision and minimal discomfort. Our interventional radiology units are equipped with modern facilities for digital radiography, fluoroscopy, catheter-based procedures, and advanced imaging technologies such as MRI and sophisticated CT scanners.
Our interventional radiologists are highly experienced in performing a range of minimally invasive treatments. Busamed clinicians use real-time imaging guidance to perform complex interventions safely and effectively. Procedures include angiography and stenting (opening blocked blood vessels), embolisation (to stop abnormal bleeding or shrink tumours), biopsies, drainages, and various pain management interventions.
Busamed Harrismith Private Hospital, for example, utilises cutting-edge fluoroscopy imaging technology to guide a diverse array of treatments, from blood flow studies to orthopaedic, urological, and cardiovascular interventions. This ensures highly accurate placement of instruments and devices, greatly improving outcomes and patient safety.
At Busamed, our advanced diagnostic imaging coupled with minimally invasive techniques provide significant advantages. These include minimal hospital stays, quicker recovery times, reduced scarring, lower infection risks, and enhanced overall patient comfort.
