PET/CT

Mobile PET/CT scanning The Radiology Department provides the following interventional services:

Interventional Procedures

Pulmonary Angiography
  • An X-ray exam of the arteries and veins in the lungs to diagnose thrombolysis (clot) and other blood vessel problems; uses a catheter to enter the blood vessel and a contrast agent (X-ray dye) to make the artery or vein visible on the X-ray.
  • Balloon Angioplasty
    Opens blocked or narrowed blood vessels by inserting a very small balloon into the vessel and inflating it. Used by IRs to unblock clogged arteries in the legs or arms (called peripheral vascular disease or PVD), kidneys, brain and elsewhere in the body.
  • Biliary Tube or a Stent Drainage and Stenting
    Uses a stent (small wire mesh device) to open up blocked ducts and allow bile to drain from the liver, as it should.
  • Embolization
    Delivery of clotting agents (coils, plastic particles, gelfoam, etc.) directly to an area that is bleeding or to block blood flow to a problem area,  such as an aneurysm or a fibroid tumor in the uterus.
  • Hemodialysis Access Maintenance
    Use of angioplasty or thrombolysis to open blocked grafts for hemodialysis, which treats kidney failure.
  • Needle Biopsy/Bone Biopsy
    Diagnostic test for breast, lung and other cancers; an alternative to surgical biopsy. Can be used to obtain diagnostic tissue from almost anywhere in the body.
  • Radiofrequency (RF) Ablation
    Use of radiofrequency (RF) energy to heat up and kill cancerous tumors.

Stent Placement

  • A small flexible tube made of plastic or wire mesh,  used to treat a variety of medical conditions (e.g.,  to hold open clogged blood vessels or other pathways that have been narrowed or blocked by tumors or obstructions).
  • Stent-graft
    Reinforces a ruptured or ballooning section of an artery (an aneurysm) with a fabric-wrapped stent, a small, flexible mesh tube used to "patch" the blood vessel. Also known as an endograft.
  • Thrombolysis (Available at St. Vincent’s)
    Dissolves blood clots by injecting clot-busting drugs at the site of the clot.
  • Vascular Access Devices
    Inserting PICC lines and Permacaths, Hickman catheters and ports, in patients.
  • Vertebroplasty, Discography and Kyphoplasty
    Spinal procedures to treat pain from fractures or diagnose painful diseased discs in the spine.
