Invasive radiology stands as one of the most refined frontiers in contemporary medicine. It combines the precision of advanced imaging, such as CT, MRI, and ultrasound, with the delicacy of minimally invasive procedures. Through small incisions, guided always by real-time imaging, physicians reach places once accessible only through open surgery—the result: reduced risk, less pain, quicker recovery.
Why an Invasive Radiology Consultation Matters
For patients facing vascular blockages, םר tumors in the liver, lungs, or kidneys, the persistence of chronic pain, or the quiet danger of internal bleeding and aneurysms, invasive radiology provides answers. It is a discipline for those too fragile for traditional surgery, for the elderly, and for anyone seeking care that is safe, swift, and precise.
At RDG, each consultation is tailor-made to every patient. Guided by seasoned experts, patients receive not a formula but a personalized plan—detailed, precise, and tailored to their needs. The recommendations aim not only to treat, but to restore quality of life, with minimal side effects and outcomes of enduring effectiveness.
For those who come with uncertainty, a consultation is the first step: a doorway into clarity, a chance to make decisions with confidence.
What the Consultation Involves
The process begins with a careful review of medical records and imaging. The specialist radiologist examines the history and findings, asking: Is there a need for intervention, or is there an alternative option?
- For some, it is a second opinion—an expert eye on prior treatments, a reassurance that nothing has been overlooked.
- For others, it is the crafting of a plan—shaped by years of clinical experience, adjusted to the contours of each case.
The goal remains constant: to help patients understand their options, empower them to make informed choices, and guide them toward safe and advanced treatment with the most adequate and cutting-edge treatment option that exists in modern medicine.
Who Guides the Patient
Every consultation is conducted by a physician trained at the highest level in invasive radiology —a field that demands mastery in diagnosis, planning, and execution. These specialists command the tools of modern medicine—MRI, CT, and ultrasound—and wield them with precision. Our interventional radiologist will study the patient’s imaging file in detail, and recommend minimal invasive interventions according to the patients needs and clinical feasibility.
How to Begin
Patients may begin their journey simply:
- Call +972-50-475-1120
- Write to office@rdg-imaging.com
They are asked to upload their records securely to our online platform. :
- Imaging studies,
- Discharge letters, referrals
- Specialist notes and laboratory results
Each document becomes a thread woven into the tapestry of a complete clinical picture. Once payment is arranged, the patient’s file is reviewed, and a detailed consultation is conducted with a thorough summary of the interventional radiologist’s recommendations. The recommendations will be explained by the interventional radiologist, either by phone or via video call, with in depth elaboration of the treatment options, risks, and possible paths.
Who Benefits Most
Oncology Patients
For those living with cancer, invasive radiology provides targeted therapies:
- Tumor Ablation: Burning or freezing primary tumors or metastases using radiofrequency or cryotherapy, suitable for patients with liver, lung, or kidney tumors ineligible for surgery. It reduces pain, improves life expectancy, and is performed under local anesthesia.
- Embolization and Chemoembolization: Blocking blood supply to tumors, sometimes with chemotherapy injection, suitable for patients with large or inoperable tumors. It minimizes side effects and enhances treatment outcomes.
- Radioembolization: Injecting radioactive particles directly into tumors via blood vessels, primarily for liver tumors (primary or metastatic). It offers precise treatment with minimal impact on healthy tissues.
- Biopsy: Tissue sampling from tumors using imaging-guided needles, for patients with suspected cancer or other diseases, enabling precise diagnosis and tailored treatment planning with minimal risk and recovery time.
- Port Placement: Inserting a permanent catheter under the skin for long-term treatments, suitable for cancer patients requiring chemotherapy or intravenous medications. It simplifies treatment administration and reduces discomfort.
- Ascites Drainage Catheter Placement: Installing a catheter to drain fluid from the abdomen due to accumulation, suitable for cancer patients with ascites. It improves comfort, reduces pressure, and enhances quality of life.
Vascular Patients
- Pelvic Venous Congestion Treatment: Blocking veins causing pelvic congestion using catheters, suitable for women with chronic pelvic pain or bleeding. It reduces pain, improves daily function, and avoids the need for open surgery.
- Vascular Malformation Closure: Repairing abnormal blood vessels with blocking agents, suitable for patients with congenital or acquired vascular malformations. It prevents complications like bleeding and improves normal blood flow.
- Aneurysm Embolization: Sealing arterial aneurysms with stents or coils, suitable for patients at risk of internal bleeding. It is life-saving, reduces risks, and requires a short recovery time.
- Portal Hypertension Treatment: Reducing pressure in liver veins using catheters or stents, suitable for patients with chronic liver diseases. It prevents internal bleeding and improves liver function.
- Uterine Fibroid Embolization: Blocking blood flow to uterine fibroids with small particles, suitable for women with heavy bleeding or pain. It offers an alternative to surgery with rapid recovery.
- Prostate Artery Embolization: Reducing blood flow to an enlarged prostate, suitable for men with urinary issues or discomfort. It improves symptoms without invasive surgery.
Each intervention is designed to mend what is broken, to restore circulation, and to prevent disaster.
Patients in Pain
- Nerve Cryoablation: Freezing nerves causing pain using imaging-guided needles, suitable for patients with chronic back or joint pain. It significantly reduces pain and improves daily function.
- Nerve Block for Migraines: Injecting nerve-blocking agents in the head is suitable for patients with frequent, treatment-resistant migraines. It reduces the frequency and intensity of attacks.
- Nerve Block for Cluster Headaches: Blocking specific nerves causing severe headaches, suitable for patients with intense cluster headaches. It reduces attacks and improves quality of life.
- Nerve Block for Facial Pain: Treating facial nerves with precise injections, suitable for patients with chronic facial pain, such as trigeminal neuralgia. It offers rapid relief without surgery.
- Nerve Block for Vascular Neuropathy: Blocking nerves affected by vascular diseases, suitable for patients with chronic pain in the legs or arms. It improves comfort and mobility.
- Nerve Block for Chemotherapy-Induced Neuropathy: Treating nerves damaged by chemotherapy, suitable for cancer patients with pain or numbness in limbs. It reduces symptoms and improves quality of life.
These are not just procedures; they are reprieves, moments of release that can make life become livable again.
The consultation in invasive radiology is not only a service; it is a philosophy. It joins technology with humanity, precision with compassion. RDG offers each patient not merely treatment, but the possibility of a safer tomorrow.
