Special Investigations

Special Investigations in radiology refer to advanced diagnostic imaging procedures that go beyond routine scans to provide detailed insights into complex medical conditions. These investigations utilize cutting-edge technology and specialized techniques to help diagnose difficult cases, guide treatment plans, and monitor disease progression.

What is it useful for?
Special Investigations are essential when conventional imaging is insufficient for accurate diagnosis. They include advanced modalities like Diffusion Weighted Imaging with Background Suppression (DWIBS), PET scans, specialized contrast studies, interventional radiology procedures, and focused imaging for oncological, vascular, or fetal medicine cases. These investigations help detect subtle abnormalities, evaluate tumor spread, assess lymph node involvement, and guide minimally invasive treatments.

Who needs Special Investigations?
Patients with complex or unclear symptoms, suspected cancers, vascular diseases, or congenital anomalies may be referred for Special Investigations. Individuals requiring precise staging of tumors, monitoring of treatment response, or evaluation of difficult-to-diagnose conditions benefit from these specialized scans. They are also invaluable for guiding biopsies and interventional procedures with high accuracy.

Benefits of Special Investigations:

Provide comprehensive and detailed diagnostic information
Enable early detection of diseases that might be missed on routine scans
Assist in accurate staging and treatment planning, especially in oncology
Minimize the need for invasive diagnostic procedures
Enhance patient care through targeted, image-guided interventions
