Doctors at Shifa Department of Radiology provide the highest quality diagnostic and treatment imaging services in a caring, safe and efficient environment that is enhanced by outstanding programs in research and education.
Our services are fully integrated with medical and surgical care. Our radiologists promptly coordinate imaging findings with your primary medical team, ensuring timely diagnosis and management. Our highly specialized teams perform and interpret countless examinations each year. This large number of cases, integrated with ongoing research and education, results in wide-ranging expertise in imaging and treatment.
Shifa International Hospital since 2007 has been providing state-of-the-art diagnostic imaging, minimally invasive procedures, and treatments that in the past required alternative treatment options.
By using the power of imaging (Ultrasound, X-Rays, CT Scans, MRI Scans, and other innovative methods), Interventional Radiologists can see inside your body and treat complex conditions with the help of the devices such as needles, catheters, balloons, and stents to open blocked blood vessels, blocked bleeding vessels, treatment of aneurysms, drain fluid collections, drain bile ducts, perform biopsies and treat many other conditions less invasively and with unprecedented precision. Interventional Radiologists use digital technology to make repairs in the body by making tiny or no incisions. Most Interventional Radiology procedures begin with the prick of a needle which is followed by the Interventional Radiologist guiding a thin wire into a blood vessel to reach and treat the source of the pain or disease. The Radiologist watches the inside of the body on monitor screens and uses the instruments accordingly. Interventional Radiology offers various advantages over traditional invasive procedures i.e. the risk of pain is minimum with no large scars and recovery time is also significantly reduced. Most I.R procedures are performed in OPD (same-day procedure) as moderate sedation or local anesthesia is offered.
