  Facilities Available

1. Vascular interventions are broadly divided into:
   
   A) Vaso-occlussive techniques (embolizations)
   Procedures performed in
   1) Gastrointestinal hemorrhage (upper and lower G.I.)
   2) Post traumatic hemorrhage
   3) Aneurysm, pseudo aneurysm, arteriovenous fistula (either post traumatic, iatrogenic, inflammatory, tumoral or other origin)
   4) Haemoptysis (bronchial and non bronchial collaterals bleeding)
   5) Chemoembolization (in hepatic and pelvic neoplasm’s)
   6) Post partum hemorrhage, fibroid embolizations.
   7) Varicoceles
   8) Preoperative tumoral embolizations e.g. Nasopharyngeal Angiofibroma
   
   B) Revascularization techniques
   1) Percutaneous angioplasty
   2) Percutaneous stenting
   3) Mechanical thrombectomy
   4) Chemical thrombolysis
   5) TIPSS (Tran jugular intrahepatic Porto systemic stent shunt)
   In acute ischemic limb, Reno vascular hypertension, stroke,
   Post operative anastomotic stenosis, budd chiari syndrome etc.
   
   C) Filter Placement
   IVC filter placement in DVT causing pulmonary embolizations.
   
   
2. Non vascular interventions are broadly classified into
   
   A) Catheter drainage of fluid collection
   1) Intraperitoneal
       - Ascites
       - Localized collection e.g. post operative
       - Pseudo pancreatic cyst etc
   2) Retroperitoneal
       - Perinephric collections
       - Psoas abscess
       - Pseudo pancreatic cyst etc
   3) Parenchymal
       - Liver abscess and PAIR (puncture aspirate installation       reaspiration) therapy for Hepatic hydatids

Ultra Sound

• Aloka SSD 630 sonography machine.
• Toshiba Eccoocee Doppler and ultrasound unit
• Image capturing software with completely computerized image management
• Computerized immediate reporting (24 hrs. working)
  
  Ultra Sound and Color Doppler Machine with 3D and Tissue Harmonic Imaging : This is a state of art ultrasound and color Doppler unit from ALOKA. The machine has got real time 3 D imaging and tissue harmonic mode. Apart from the routine ultrasound and Doppler sonography of the body, machine is capable of acquiring real time 3D images which facilitates diagnosis of congenital fetal anomalies. Tissue harmonic mode has made imaging possible in obese patients and deeper structures in the body. An image capturing software has made image storage and retrieval on separate P.C.

List of the procedure possible with this machine

• Abdominal, pelvic and thoracic sonography
• Small part sonography
• Color Doppler studies of arterial and venous system
• Intracavitory sonography
• Real time 3D imaging

Teleradiology Project
This project connects the department to various higher centers & in various district levels
