Lower Limb Angiogram | Patient Information Video

A lower limb angiogram is a interventional radiology procedure that involves injecting a dye to visualise the blood vessels of your legs. This helps doctors visualise and assess the blood flow, identify any blockages or abnormalities which could be treated. It is a minimally invasive procedure that helps map out blockages and suggest ways to improve or restore blood flow in your legs.

Fistulogram | Patient Information Video

A fistulogram is an interventional radiology procedure that involves injecting a dye to visualise and assess the blood flow in your fistula and vessels, identify any blockages or abnormalities which could be treated. It is a minimally invasive procedure that helps map out blockages and suggest ways to improve or restore blood flow into your fistula, to help with your dialysis.

Intracranial Angiogram | Patient Information Video

A diagnostic intracranial angiogram is a medical procedure used to obtain a detailed look at the arteries in your brain. During the procedure, a specialist doctor inserts a thin tube into a blood vessel, usually starting from the groin. They then inject a special dye through the tube, which travels up to the arteries in your brain. This dye makes the blood vessels visible on an X-ray. The images obtained help doctors see if there are any blockages, abnormalities, or aneurysms in your brain’s arteries. This procedure is crucial for planning treatments if any issues are found.

Varicocele Embolisation | Patient Information Video

Varicocele embolisation is a minimally invasive treatment for varicoceles, which are swollen veins in the scrotum that can cause pain, swelling, or fertility issues. During the procedure, a radiologist inserts a thin tube called a catheter into a vein in your groin or neck. Using X-ray guidance, the doctor threads the catheter to the varicocele. Small coils or a special fluid are then released through the catheter to block blood flow to the swollen vein, which reduces pressure and alleviates symptoms. The procedure is typically performed on an outpatient basis, allowing you to go home the same day.

Vertebroplasty | Patient Information Video

Vertebroplasty is a minimally invasive procedure designed to relieve pain caused by vertebral compression fractures, which are breaks in your spine’s bones often due to osteoporosis or injury. During the procedure, a doctor uses imaging guidance to inject a special cement-like material directly into the fractured vertebra. This stabilises the bone and can provide pain relief.
