Yes, contrast, while very safe and vital for diagnosing and treating some disorders, does have certain risks. A patient may have an allergic reaction to contrast, and if the patient has kidney problems, contrast can exacerbate the problem. It's also important to understand that the contrast for a CT scan and an MRI are not the same.
Can interventional radiology treatment help people with liver cancer live?
Yes, interventional radiology procedures including radiofrequency ablation, transarterial chemoembolization, and radioembolization can help treat liver cancer and improve survival READ MORE
Yes, interventional radiology procedures including radiofrequency ablation, transarterial chemoembolization, and radioembolization can help treat liver cancer and improve survival rates, particularly when surgery is not an option. These minimally invasive techniques can target and kill malignant tumors while causing minimum damage to healthy surrounding tissue. However, the efficacy of these treatments is determined by a number of factors, including the stage and extent of the cancer, as well as the patient's overall condition. Patients with liver cancer should have a multidisciplinary approach to treatment with a Gastroenterologist/hepatologist (liver doctors), surgeon, and Interventional Radiologist and others involved in patient care. Transplantation of the liver should always be discussed in the appropriate clinical setting.

The short answer is yes, depending on the type, size, and location of the liver cancer we have several ways of treating liver tumors. We can kill the tumor by ablation( burning or freezing the tumor) or via the arteries that feed the tumor blocking them and delivering chemotherapy or radiation directly to the tumor.

Hi there, usually anticoagulation (blood thinners) like Eliquis is recommended from 3-6 months sometimes longer or less depending on the cause of the DVT. My recommendation is for a Vascular specialist to evaluate the progression of the DVT and compare the imaging of your initial clot with subsequent imaging to assess the progression or resolution of the clot and decide if anticoagulation can be stopped. Chronic clots can damage the valves of your veins and may cause what is called venous insufficiency. Again a doctor who specializes in venous disease can help with DVT follow-up or recommend a hematologist (Doctor who treats blood disorders) to help out with a non diagnosed condition.
