Each procedure below is performed through a small, image-guided access point. Filter by area, then read what the treatment is for. Your own plan is always decided at consultation.
Transarterial chemoembolization delivers treatment directly to a liver tumour through its own blood supply while limiting the effect on healthy liver.

Read moreBlocking the blood supply of a vascular tumour before surgery can reduce bleeding during the operation.
Read moreA needle-based treatment that shrinks fluid-filled thyroid cysts without an operation.
Read moreUsed for fibroids, abnormal uterine bleeding and postpartum haemorrhage. Blocking the uterine arteries reduces bleeding and shrinks fibroids.

Read moreProf. Dr. Bishwajit Bhowmik is an interventional radiologist, academic and clinician with deep experience in minimally invasive, image-guided therapy. He is recognised nationally and internationally for developing, expanding and modernising interventional radiology (IR) in Bangladesh.
He began his career in government healthcare and joined the former BSMMU as Assistant Professor in 2010. He became Associate Professor in 2017 and Professor in 2022. Today he serves at Bangladesh Medical University, where he looks after patients, teaches and leads research.
As General Secretary of the Bangladesh Society of Vascular and Interventional Radiology (BSVIR), he has pushed for structured education, hands-on training and the nationwide spread of IR services. He speaks, trains and shares expertise at national and international forums, particularly in hepatobiliary, vascular and oncologic interventions.
Further advanced training in interventional procedures in India and Thailand.
The aim is to replace conventional surgical procedures with advanced minimally invasive techniques wherever it is safe and appropriate to do so.
A needle or catheter through a small puncture avoids large incisions and the risks that come with open surgery.
Many image-guided treatments need far less time in hospital than the surgical alternative.
Smaller access points mean less pain and an earlier return to normal life, which improves overall outcomes and safety.
Home / For patients
Specialist consultation, image-guided treatment and follow-up with the same interventional radiologist.
Interventional radiology treats many conditions with image-guided procedures that avoid open surgery. Prof. Bhowmik will review your condition and imaging, explain the interventional, surgical and conservative options that apply, and outline what recovery is likely to involve.
Treatment is planned around your diagnosis, your general health and what you want from it. You will have the chance to ask questions before anything is decided.
Your doctor sends a referral, or you contact the clinic directly. The team confirms a time for your consultation.
Prof. Bhowmik reviews your history and imaging, discusses your options and explains the benefits and risks of each.
Most procedures use a small puncture guided by imaging. You are told beforehand how to prepare and what anaesthesia to expect.
You are given clear instructions for recovery, and a follow-up plan so your progress is checked after treatment.

Read articleInterventional radiology uses imaging such as X-ray fluoroscopy, ultrasound and CT to guide thin instruments through the body. It treats many conditions without open surgery.
Most are done through a small puncture with local anaesthetic, often with sedation. The type of anaesthesia depends on the procedure and is discussed beforehand.
This varies by procedure. Many image-guided treatments need a shorter stay than surgery, and you will be told what to expect before treatment.
