How Interventional Procedures Work
Each procedure is performed by an experienced radiologist using real-time imaging, either CT or ultrasound, depending on the area being treated. Imaging guidance allows the radiologist to see the target structure and confirm precise needle placement before any medication is delivered or sample taken.
Most procedures are minimally invasive, completed within a short appointment, and followed by a brief observation period before you return home. Results and reports are communicated promptly to your referring doctor.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are interventional procedures in radiology?
Interventional procedures are minimally invasive treatments and diagnostic tests performed under imaging guidance, such as CT or ultrasound. They include image guided injections for pain management, nerve blocks, and needle biopsies for tissue sampling.
Do I need a referral for an interventional procedure?
Yes, a referral from your GP or specialist is required. Your referral will specify the procedure and the area being treated.
What is the difference between CT guided and ultrasound guided procedures?
Ultrasound guidance uses sound waves and no radiation, and is commonly used for joints, tendons, soft tissue, breast, and thyroid procedures. CT guidance provides detailed cross-sectional imaging and is typically used for spinal and deeper structures. Your referring doctor will specify which is appropriate.
How do I prepare for my procedure?
Preparation varies by procedure. In general, let us know when booking if you take blood thinning medication, bring your referral and previous imaging, and ask whether you should arrange a driver. Our team will confirm the specific instructions for your procedure.
Are interventional procedures painful?
Local anaesthetic is used where required, and fine needles are used throughout, so most patients experience only brief discomfort. Your radiologist will explain each step before the procedure begins.
