Radio frequency ablation uses high frequency electrical energy to destroy or burn tissues and is performed in an outpatient setting under local anesthesia or conscious sedation. It can be used to treat primary or metastatic tumors less than 5 cm, cardiac arrhythmias, skin lesions, varicose veins, obstructive sleep apnea, pain management, and Barrett's esophagus. The procedure is performed by physicians such as radiologists, anesthesiologists, neurologists, and surgeons using equipment like probes, CT scans, ultrasounds, and MRIs. Patients may experience low-grade fever, flu-like symptoms, and post-procedure pain after an ablation that takes 10-30 minutes during a procedure lasting 1-3 hours

Digital subtraction angiography
Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) is a technique used to visualize blood vessels by subtracting bone and tissue structures from angiograms, leaving only images of opacified blood vessels. It involves acquiring digital fluoroscopic images before and after injecting iodinated contrast media and subtracting the pre-contrast images from the post-contrast images in real-time. DSA allows for both diagnostic evaluation of vascular anatomy and interventional procedures such as aneurysm coiling or tumor embolization. While generally safe, DSA does carry risks of local vascular complications, systemic reactions to contrast media, or neurological deficits in rare cases.

Digital subtraction angiography
Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) is a fluoroscopy technique that uses iodinated contrast media and subtraction of bone structures to clearly visualize blood vessels. During a DSA procedure, a catheter is inserted into an artery and guided to the vessel of interest before injecting contrast dye and acquiring images. Multiple frames are taken in rapid succession and a mask image is subtracted from subsequent images, leaving an unobscured view of the opacified vessels. DSA allows for both diagnostic evaluation of vessels and interventional procedures such as angioplasty and stent placement.
Triphasic CT scan
A triphasic, or triple-phase, CT scan is an enhanced CT technique mostly used to evaluate liver lesions. This technique acquires images at 3 different time points, or phases, following the administration of a contrast.
Angiography basics and seldinger technique
1. Angiography is performed by inserting a catheter into an artery or vein using the Seldinger technique, which involves inserting a needle and guidewire before threading the catheter.
2. The angiography team includes a radiologist, nurse, and technologists who prepare equipment like catheters, guidewires, and injectors to visualize blood vessels and perform interventional procedures.
3. Digital subtraction angiography uses computer algorithms to subtract bone structures from images, clearly showing blood vessel anatomy for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes like angioplasty.

Interventional radiology & angiography
Interventional radiology uses minimally invasive techniques guided by imaging to diagnose and treat medical conditions. Procedures use small incisions or catheters inserted through blood vessels to access internal organs. The Seldinger technique is commonly used, involving insertion of a guidewire and catheter through a needle into the femoral artery. A variety of catheters and guidewires are used depending on the target vessel. Angiography involves injecting contrast dye to visualize vessels. Interventional radiology suites contain specialized equipment like large X-ray tubes and digital image receptors to facilitate complex image-guided procedures.

TACE- Transarterial Chemoembolisation
Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) involves delivering chemotherapy drugs and embolic agents directly into liver cancers via catheters in the hepatic artery. TACE is generally used to treat hepatocellular carcinoma that cannot be surgically removed. During the procedure, a catheter is placed into the hepatic artery supplying the tumor and chemotherapy mixed with iodinated oil is injected, followed by embolization of the artery with gelatin sponges. TACE can reduce tumor size and symptoms but common side effects include abdominal pain and nausea. Response to treatment is evaluated after 3-4 weeks using imaging to assess the extent of tumor coverage by the oil and residual enhancement.

CT angiography
CT angiography uses x-rays and iodine contrast dye to produce detailed images of blood vessels and tissues. A CT scan is performed after the contrast dye is injected into the bloodstream. CT angiography can be used to diagnose and evaluate diseases of the blood vessels like injuries, aneurysms, and blockages. It provides more precise anatomical detail than MRI for small blood vessels. Potential risks include radiation exposure and allergic reaction to the contrast dye.
Nuclear Medicine - PET/CT
PET/CT is a medical imaging technique that combines a positron emission tomography (PET) scanner and an x-ray computed tomography (CT) scanner into a single gantry system. This allows it to obtain both functional metabolic information from PET and anatomic information from CT in a single imaging session. The PET data provides physiological functional imaging while the CT data provides accurate structural information. By combining the PET and CT images, diagnostic accuracy and localization of lesions is improved for conditions like cancer, infections, and inflammation. The PET/CT scan involves intravenous injection of FDG, a CT scan, a PET scan, and generation of thousands of fused PET/CT images which are reconstructed, reformatted and analyzed.

It then provides details on brachytherapy, including how it works from inside the body compared to external beam therapy, common radiation sources used, and the typical procedure involving planning, applicator insertion, treatment delivery, and removal of sources.
T-tube Cholangiogram
A T-tube cholangiogram is an x-ray of the biliary duct system used to detect blockages. Contrast material is injected through a T-tube, which is sometimes placed during liver or gallbladder surgery, allowing visualization of the ducts. It can show remaining gallstones or fragments after surgery and help doctors determine when to remove the T-tube. There are other cholangiogram methods like MRCP that do not require contrast injection.

Angiography
Angiography is a medical imaging technique that uses radiography to visualize blood vessels and organs after injecting a contrast medium. It can detect diseases of the arteries and veins like atherosclerosis, aneurysms, and internal bleeding. The procedure involves a team inserting a catheter into the blood vessels and injecting iodinated contrast dye before capturing x-ray images. Risks are generally low but can include minor bleeding, vessel damage, and allergic reactions to the contrast medium. Advances in digital subtraction angiography now make angiography the gold standard for assessing vascular diseases when other imaging modalities are inconclusive.
brachytherapy
Brachytherapy involves placing radioactive sources inside or near a tumor to deliver radiation therapy. It is a type of radiotherapy that allows for a high dose of localized radiation to be administered to the tumor area while sparing surrounding healthy tissues from radiation exposure. Brachytherapy treatments are typically short in duration compared to external beam radiotherapy but require specialized equipment and skilled medical professionals for administration.
Video assisted thoracic surgery (vats)
1. Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat illnesses of the lungs and chest cavity.
2. VATS involves making small incisions and inserting surgical instruments and a camera to allow the surgeon to see inside the chest. This avoids the need for large incisions.
3. VATS is used for procedures like lung biopsies, removal of parts of the lung, treatment of collapsed lungs, and draining fluid from the chest cavity. It offers benefits like less pain, shorter recovery time, and smaller scars compared to traditional open chest surgery.
