Interventional Radiology
At KIMS Al Shifa, we pride ourselves on offering the best radiology and interventional care in Malappuram, backed by world-class technology and expert medical professionals. Our Imaging and Interventional Radiology Department is a hub of precision diagnostics and advanced, minimally invasive treatments.
With a strong focus on scar-free, image-guided procedures, we diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions across various specialties—often without the need for traditional surgery. This ensures faster recovery, less pain, and shorter hospital stays for our patients.
We are equipped with the latest imaging technologies, including high-end CT, MRI and ultrasound systems, enabling real-time precision during interventions. Our interventional radiologists work closely with specialists in oncology, neurology, nephrology, and other fields to offer comprehensive care tailored to each patient.
