Interventional Radiology

Interventional radiology uses medical imaging to guide procedures through small access points, often avoiding the need for conventional open surgery. Dr. Yugal Goyal provides interventional radiology services in Siliguri, with experience in diagnostic and therapeutic image-guided procedures.

His interventional practice covers a broad range of clinical areas, including vascular, gastrointestinal, hepatobiliary, renal and oncology interventions. Procedures are planned according to the patient's condition, imaging findings and treatment requirements.

Precision Through Image Guidance

Imaging plays an important role throughout an interventional procedure. It helps the radiologist locate the area being treated, guide instruments or catheters and monitor the procedure as it is performed.

Dr. Goyal's documented experience includes USG- and CT-guided biopsy and FNAC, percutaneous drainage procedures, nephrostomy, PTBD, PTBD stenting, radiofrequency ablation and microwave ablation.

A Minimally Invasive Approach

Many interventional radiology procedures are performed through a small needle or catheter rather than a large surgical incision. Depending on the procedure, this may mean less tissue disruption and a different recovery experience compared with conventional surgery.

The suitability of any procedure depends on the patient's diagnosis, overall health, imaging findings and clinical assessment. The treating team can explain the expected benefits, risks and alternatives before treatment.
