Lumina Interventional Radiology
Interventional radiology refers to image-guided medical treatments that are minimally invasive, using imaging technology such as X-ray, ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and computed tomography (CT). Through these imaging technologies, interventional radiologists are able to guide needles, wires, catheters, etc. into and through the body to perform the required procedure.

Precise. Effective. Safe.

At Lumina, our patients are at the heart of what we do. Your needs come first, always. From diagnosis to treatment, we are with you every step of the way.

We have a very strong relationship with Cardia, our partner interventional lab location where we carry out our procedures.

Why Interventional Radiology?

Interventional radiology is best suited for minimally invasive procedures such as angioplasty, biopsy, and more. There are many benefits that come with interventional radiology including:

  • Less pain – no large incisions are made in interventional radiology procedures, so stitches, large bandages and staples are not required; pain is moderate
  • Shorter recovery time – patients can return to daily activities faster than they would with a traditional surgery, making interventional radiology procedures convenient for individuals with busy lifestyles 
  • Lower risk of infection and other complications of conventional surgery
  • No need for general anaesthesia – local anaesthesia and/or moderate sedation can be used instead
  • Improved visibility – imaging technology allows interventional radiologists to perform more accurate procedures, increasing effectiveness of diagnosis and patient outcomes

As you can see, interventional radiology offers a range of benefits that can be reaped by both patients and medical professionals alike.

Vascular Access

Our Interventional Radiologists place venous access Ports, PICCs and other lines for the delivery of chemotherapy and other medications.

Uterine Artery Embolization

Uterine Artery Embolisation

Fibroid Embolisation is a highly effective treatment for women with fibroids who have heavy or painful periods. It is a treatment that rivals major surgery in effectiveness, with much faster recovery and less risk. Speak to us if you have symptomatic fibroids.

Varicocele Treatment

Varicocele Treatment

A varicocele is an enlargement of the veins in the scrotum as a result of poorly functioning valves in the vein taking blood away from this area back to the heart. Because these valves are not working properly, blood pools in these vessels.

Liver and Kidney Ablation

Liver and Kidney Ablation

Thermal ablation is a specialised medical technique that focuses on treating tumours without the need for surgery. Here at Lumina Interventional Radiology, we use thermal ablation to treat liver and kidney tumours.
