Diagnostic examinations of the digestive tract often utilise contrast agents, such as barium, to enhance internal visibility during X-ray or fluoroscopic procedures. These substances coat the mucosal lining of the oesophagus, stomach, and intestines, allowing for a detailed evaluation of their internal structure and function. By creating a clear silhouette of the GI tract, this technique helps identify conditions such as strictures, ulcers, or abnormal motility. Such precise imaging is essential for achieving improved diagnosis and formulating an effective treatment plan.

Stereotactic breast biopsy is an advanced, minimally invasive procedure used to sample abnormalities that may not be visible on a standard ultrasound. A specialised digital mammography machine converts X-rays into electronic signals to produce high-resolution images. By taking images from two angles, the computer calculates the exact coordinates of the target, creating a precise map of microcalcifications or small lesions. A radiologist then inserts a needle through a small incision to collect tissue samples with minimal disruption to surrounding tissue. This technique improves accurate diagnosis and supports early detection and management of non-palpable breast lesions. To learn more, visit our website 👉🏾 mic.co.zw/diagnostics-radiology

Yes – in certain cases, Uterine Fibroid Embolisation (UFE) can be performed more than once. UFE works by blocking the blood supply to existing fibroids, causing them to shrink. However, it does not prevent new fibroids from developing in the future. If new fibroids grow and begin causing symptoms, a repeat procedure may be considered. That said, needing a second UFE is uncommon. Most women experience long-term relief after a single treatment. If you have been diagnosed and would like to learn more about UFE, visit our website 👉🏾 mic.co.zw/ufe

Thyroid Microwave Ablation (MWA) is a minimally invasive treatment for benign thyroid nodules that cause symptoms such as neck pressure, a sensation of fullness in the throat, difficulty swallowing and visible swelling. Using imaging guidance, a fine probe is inserted into the nodule and controlled microwave energy is applied, causing the tissue to shrink gradually over time. As the nodule reduces in size, compression eases and many patients experience meaningful symptom relief, often returning to normal activities quickly with minimal discomfort and no surgical scarring. The procedure is guided by interventional radiologists or endocrinologists, in collaboration with your doctor, to ensure precision and safety. To learn more about whether MWA is suitable for you, speak to your endocrinologist or visit our website 👉🏾 mic.co.zw

A chemo port insertion, also known as a port-a-cath or implanted port, is a minor procedure that provides comfortable, reliable vascular access for chemotherapy, regular medications or blood tests. During the procedure, a small port is placed beneath the skin and connected to a catheter positioned in a major vein, usually in the upper chest. Imaging guidance ensures accurate placement and reduces the need for repeated needle sticks. The procedure is typically performed under local anaesthesia, and most patients return home the same day. Insertions are overseen by interventional radiologists or oncologists to ensure precise placement and minimised risk.

Understanding the difference between screening and diagnostic mammography is essential for effective breast care. Screening mammography is performed routinely in individuals without symptoms to detect early changes before they become noticeable. Diagnostic mammography is used when symptoms are present, or when findings such as microcalcifications or masses require further evaluation. Together, these approaches support timely and accurate assessment. Early detection saves lives, making it important to understand which test is appropriate for your breast health.

Fibroid size alone does not always determine symptom severity, as even small fibroids can cause pain or interfere with fertility. That said, larger fibroids, typically greater than 6–10 cm, are more likely to cause complications such as severe pelvic pain, pressure on surrounding organs, distortion of the uterine shape affecting fertility or pregnancy, anaemia from heavy menstrual bleeding, and urinary retention or constipation. Performed through a tiny insertion in the groin, Uterine Fibroid Embolisation (UFE) precisely targets the blood vessels supplying fibroids, causing them to shrink gradually while preserving surrounding healthy tissue. To learn more about UFE, speak to your gynae or visit our website 👉🏾 mic.co.zw/ufe

Prostate Artery Embolisation (PAE) relies on a detailed understanding of the prostate’s vascular anatomy to relieve urinary symptoms. Advanced imaging allows interventional radiologists to trace each tiny artery supplying the prostate, ensuring micro particles are delivered precisely where needed. This selective blockage reduces blood flow to the gland, causing it to shrink over time while protecting surrounding tissue. Mapping the vascular network carefully prevents non-target embolisation and supports predictable outcomes. Real-time imaging is essential to guide every step, with interventional radiologists or your doctor overseeing the procedure. To learn more on PAE visit our website 👉🏾 mic.co.zw/pae

Whole Body Composition Analysis offers deeper insight into cardiovascular risk than body weight alone. By measuring fat distribution, lean muscle mass and visceral fat, doctors and radiologists can better assess metabolic health and potential heart disease risk. Elevated visceral fat is strongly linked to hypertension, insulin resistance and cardiovascular disease. This level of analysis supports early risk identification and more personalised prevention strategies. Understanding internal body composition can be a meaningful step towards proactive cardiovascular health management. To learn more, speak to your doctor or visit our website to enquire 👉🏾 mic.co.zw

Fallopian Tube Recanalisation is unique in that it allows both assessment and treatment in a single session. Using real-time imaging, tubal blockages are identified and gently reopened during the same procedure. This dual approach reduces the need for multiple interventions, shortens recovery time, and provides immediate confirmation of tubal patency. To find out whether FTR is the right option for you, speak to a fertility specialist or visit our website 👉🏾 mic.co.zw/ftr

Heart disease often develops silently, long before severe symptoms appear. Heart Health Awareness Month is a reminder to pause, listen to your body, and prioritise cardiovascular wellbeing at every stage of life. This February, we encourage awareness, prevention and proactive conversations about heart health - because looking after your heart is an investment in long-term wellbeing 🫀
