Varicose veins are enlarged, twisted veins that typically appear in the legs. They occur when the valves in the veins fail to function properly, causing blood to pool and the veins to swell.

Depending on the tumor type and extent of removal, additional treatments like radiation therapy or chemotherapy may be necessary.

Imaging and Interventional Radiology involves diagnostic imaging techniques and minimally invasive procedures guided by imaging technology to diagnose and treat various conditions.

Procedures include biopsies, catheter placements, embolizations, and other techniques to treat conditions such as tumors, blockages, and internal bleeding.

These procedures use imaging techniques such as X-rays, CT scans, or ultrasound to guide the placement of instruments and perform interventions with precision.

Most procedures are performed under local anesthesia or sedation to minimize discomfort. Patients may experience some soreness or mild pain afterward.

Preparation varies by procedure. It may include fasting, avoiding certain medications, or specific instructions provided by your healthcare provider.
