Frequent urination, a weak stream or a constant urge to go? These symptoms may be caused by Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) — a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate that affects many men as they age. As the prostate grows, it can press against the urethra, making it harder for urine to pass. Diagnosis is often made using ultrasound or other imaging techniques to assess prostate size and rule out other conditions. If you’re experiencing urinary symptoms, speak to your doctor about the most appropriate steps for diagnosis and management 🧬 To learn more about imaging tests for the prostate gland, please visit our website 👉🏾 https://mic.co.zw/

Myth — Uterine Fibroid Embolisation (UFE) does not prevent pregnancy. While fibroids can contribute to infertility, UFE targets fibroids by cutting off their blood supply — preserving the uterus while relieving symptoms such as pain, pressure and heavy bleeding. Many women have successfully fallen pregnant after the procedure. However, outcomes can differ, so it is important to consult your doctor about fertility goals before undergoing UFE.

There are several safe and minimally invasive techniques available for sampling abnormal breast tissue. The choice of method depends on the size, location, and appearance of the finding on imaging.
🔹 Core Needle Biopsy (CNB) – Often guided by ultrasound, this technique uses a hollow needle to collect small tissue samples for analysis.
🔹 Vacuum-Assisted Biopsy (VAB) – This method uses gentle suction to retrieve larger samples, which may improve diagnostic accuracy, especially for certain types of lesions.
🔹 3D Tomosynthesis-Guided Biopsy – This approach uses advanced mammographic imaging to guide the biopsy needle, particularly useful when lesions are not clearly seen on ultrasound.
The radiologist will recommend the most suitable method based on your imaging and clinical findings. To learn more about breast biopsy services, please visit our website 👉🏾 https://mic.co.zw/

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) — or an enlarged prostate — is a common condition in older men. It can lead to urinary issues such as frequent urination, weak flow or difficulty emptying the bladder. Prostate Artery Embolisation (PAE) is a minimally invasive, image-guided procedure that may be considered for some men with BPH. The procedure works by reducing blood supply to the enlarged prostate tissue, leading to gradual shrinkage and potential symptom relief over time. PAE is usually performed without general anaesthesia and may offer a shorter recovery period compared to traditional surgery. Your doctor can advise whether this option is suitable for your individual circumstances. To learn more, please visit our website 👉🏾 https://mic.co.zw/pae/

Not every MRI or CT scan requires contrast dye — in fact, up to 85% of MRI scans are performed without it. MRI can detect changes in blood flow, blockages or soft tissue abnormalities without enhancement. In certain cases, however, contrast is used to provide clearer detail of specific organs, blood vessels or tumours. Your doctor will assess your clinical needs and determine whether contrast will improve diagnostic accuracy.

Fallopian Tube Recanalisation (FTR) is a non-surgical, image-guided procedure designed to clear blockages in the fallopian tubes — a common cause of infertility. Under sedation, a catheter is gently inserted through the cervix into the uterus, and then into the blocked tube. The goal is to relieve the blockage and improve the chance of natural conception, where appropriate. FTR is typically completed as a day procedure, with patients discharged after observation. The procedure is usually completed within a few hours, and patients are monitored before going home the same day. If you have been diagnosed with a tubal blockage, speak to your gynaecologist or fertility specialist about whether FTR may be a suitable option for you.

Most thyroid nodules are benign — but they can still cause discomfort, cosmetic concerns or affect swallowing and breathing. Thyroid Microwave Ablation (MWA) is a minimally invasive outpatient procedure that uses targeted thermal energy to shrink these nodules. Using ultrasound guidance, a thin probe delivers targeted thermal energy into the thyroid nodule to reduce its size over time. The procedure is typically performed on an outpatient basis and aims to preserve normal thyroid function. Speak to your doctor to find out if this option is appropriate for you.

Recovery after Prostate Artery Embolisation (PAE) is typically quick and well-tolerated. Most patients are discharged on the same day — or may require a short overnight stay for observation. Discomfort, such as mild pelvic pain or urinary frequency, usually resolves within a few days. Unlike traditional surgery, PAE does not involve incisions or a catheter, reducing the risk of complications. Patients often resume normal activities within a week, with symptom improvement continuing over several months. If you are exploring treatment options for an enlarged prostate, speak to your doctor about whether PAE may be suitable for you, or visit our website 👉🏾 https://mic.co.zw/pae/

Thyroid Microwave Ablation (MWA) is a non-surgical treatment for benign thyroid nodules that cause discomfort, pressure symptoms or cosmetic concerns. Using a fine probe, microwave energy is delivered directly into the nodule — reducing its size over time. The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia with no surgical scar, minimal discomfort and a short recovery period. MWA preserves healthy thyroid tissue, making it ideal for patients who wish to avoid thyroid surgery. If you have a benign nodule and are exploring treatment options, speak to your doctor about whether MWA is right for you, or visit our website for more information 👉🏾 https://mic.co.zw/

Having dense breasts means there is more fibro-glandular tissue than fatty tissue visible on a mammogram — a common and normal finding. However, dense tissue can make it harder to detect abnormalities on standard mammograms, potentially masking early signs of breast cancer. Women with dense breasts may benefit from supplementary imaging, such as breast ultrasound or MRI, for more accurate screening. While not a diagnosis, breast density is an important factor in your personalised screening plan. Speak to your healthcare provider about your risk profile and whether additional imaging is appropriate for you 🧬 To learn more, please visit our website 👉🏾 https://mic.co.zw/

Fallopian Tube Recanalisation (FTR) is a non-surgical option for women with infertility caused by blocked fallopian tubes. Ideal candidates include those diagnosed with tubal blockage through a hysterosalpingogram (HSG) — an X-ray test used to check tube patency — or those who have had their diagnosis confirmed through selective salpingography. FTR involves the use of a fine catheter to gently reopen the blocked segment, improving the possibility of natural conception. To find out if you may be a candidate for FTR, please speak to your doctor or visit our website for more information 👉🏾 https://mic.co.zw/ftr/
