Helping accurate diagnosis!
The Institute of Radiology and Imaging Sciences department in MIMS is one of the most state-of-the-art facilities in the entire country and is integrated with advanced technologies that are at par with the West. Imaging is the technique through which radiologists examine our internal organs without making any incisions. This is a kind of visual inspection that would help the radiologists make an accurate diagnosis. Through imaging, doctors and surgeons would be able to chart a treatment pattern and chart every course of surgery.

FAQs
Want to find out more about the treatment? The answer to your questions can be found below.
What does a radiologist do?
Interventional radiologists are different from traditional radiologists, who utilise modern imaging techniques to track diseases and their seriousness. They perform a wide range of minimally invasive procedures to treat critical symptoms within your body. They focus on diagnosing certain conditions while minimising pain and recovery time.
What question should you ask a radiologist?
You can ask any question regarding the treatment procedures, such as which type of treatment will be used, what symptoms are being treated, what risks are involved, whether there will be any side effects, etc. Our interventional radiologist in Calicut at Aster MIMS can answer all your questions and clear your doubts.
What are the most common types of conditions that radiologists treat?
Interventional radiologists provide several minimally invasive treatments, such as blocked arteries, internal bleeding, tumours, pain management, and urinary tract problems. Our interventional radiologist in Calicut can plan and perform painless treatments and other specialists required for complete patient care and support.
When should I consider seeing a radiologist?
You should consider seeing an interventional radiologist if you encounter situations like chronic pain, suspected blockages in arteries or blood vessels, suffering from a tumour, or requiring a minimally invasive treatment. If you’re unable to recognise the issue, our interventional radiologist can help you.
How should I prepare for my first visit to a radiologist?
To prepare for your first visit to an interventional radiologist, make sure you know what to ask and what to discuss (for instance, your health problems). Moreover, you should carry health documents and all image-guided checkups to help these experts determine what troubles you’re facing.
How does a radiologist decide on a treatment plan?
Interventional radiologists collaborate with other healthcare professionals to monitor patients' health through modern imaging techniques. Their combined knowledge helps to plan a treatment procedure suitable for your condition. At Aster MIMS, our interventional radiology in Calicut ensures comprehensive care with non-invasive treatments and other doctors and surgeons.
Will a radiologist help manage side effects during treatment?
Interventional radiologists can manage your side effects during treatment while working with other surgeons and doctors. They identify potential complications through medical imaging and ensure comprehensive patient care to address and treat any side effects during or even after the surgery.
What documents should I carry on my first visit to a radiologist?
You should carry all the vital health documents while visiting an interventional radiologist for the first time at the recommendation of your primary care doctor. These documents will include past medical records, previous imaging results such as X-rays or MRIs, and ongoing medications. You can consult our interventional radiologist in Calicut to know what’s required.
How do radiologists decide if surgery is necessary?
Interventional radiologists aren't directly involved in making decisions for surgery requirements. They work with other surgeons to monitor patients' conditions and know whether they require minimally invasive surgery. At Aster MIMS, our interventional radiologist in Calicut can offer you reliable support in case of diagnosis and treatment.
