Neuroimaging services:

Specialised and dedicated diagnostic neuroimaging services are offered by trained specialists Dr. T R Kapila Moorthy, former Professor and Head of SCTIMST, Kerala and Dr. Roopa Seshadri, Interventional Neuroradiologist trained at NIMHANS, Bangalore.

4) Interventional procedures –

• Neurological & endovascular interventions: This subspecialty is headed by Dr. Roopa Seshadri, a specialist in the field of neurovascular intervention, trained at NIMHANS. As part of the stroke team at JSSH, she performs mechanical thrombectomy for acute stroke. Some of the other interventions done include intracranical angioplasty and stenting for intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis, aneurysm coiling, dural AVF embolisation, venous stenting for IIH and retinal artery embolisation for retinoblastoma. All endovascular procedures are also done with few being peripheral artery angioplasty, pre-operative embolization of vascular tumors, uterine artery embolization, prostate embolization and stenting & embolisation of visceral arteries.
• Other interventions (Under ultrasound / CT guidance) : Percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) and Percutaneous cholecystostomy are done under ultrasound and fluoroscopy guidance. Diagnostic and therapeutic aspirations, guided pigtail & intercostal drainage (ICD) insertions, guided FNAC & biopsies by the team of of non-vascular intervention radiologists.
