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. To learn more about these procedures, speak to your radiologist or visit our website 👉🏾 mic.co.zw/3d-mammography

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 🫀

Today is a reminder that cancer touches far more lives than statistics can show. Behind every diagnosis is a person, a family and a journey that requires courage, support and clarity. On World Cancer Day, we stand with the patients, families and healthcare professionals working together towards earlier detection, better outcomes and continued progress 🎗️

When a breast imaging scan identifies an area requiring further assessment, your doctor may discuss biopsy options. One advanced technique is Vacuum-Assisted Biopsy (VAB). VAB is a minimally invasive, image-guided procedure. A needle attached to a vacuum device is used to collect multiple tissue samples through one small incision. This method allows for the removal of a larger sample of tissue than a traditional core needle biopsy, which can be necessary for a definitive diagnosis in certain situations. The decision to recommend a VAB is made by your doctor and radiologist based on your specific clinical needs 🩺 Speak to your doctor or visit our website for more info 👉🏾 mic.co.zw/vacuum-assisted-biopsy

For women diagnosed with symptomatic uterine fibroids, several treatment options exist. One minimally invasive procedure is Uterine Fibroid Embolisation (UFE). UFE is performed by an interventional radiologist. Using image guidance, the specialist accesses an artery through a small puncture (often in the wrist or groin) to deliver tiny particles that reduce the blood supply to the fibroids, which may then shrink over time.

Key Points to Discuss with Your Doctor:

UFE is a treatment option, not a cure, and its suitability depends on individual factors like fibroid size, number, and location.
It is considered a uterus-preserving alternative to surgical options.
A full explanation of potential benefits, risks, and the recovery process should be provided by your gynaecologist and interventional radiologist.

If you have been diagnosed with fibroids, discuss all suitable management options, which may include monitoring, medication, or various procedures, with your gynae to determine the most appropriate option for you.

Gastrointestinal imaging helps your doctor visualise your digestive tract. Different tests are used to evaluate different areas and symptoms.
Common Studies Include:
🩺 Contrast Studies (Fluoroscopy):
Barium Swallow: Examines the esophagus and stomach.
Small Bowel Follow-Through: Tracks the journey of contrast through the small intestine.
E***a (Barium or Contrast): Evaluates the large intestine/colon.
🔍 Advanced Cross-Sectional Imaging:
CT Colonography: A CT scan that provides detailed 3D images of the colon, often used for polyp detection.
MR Enterography: An MRI scan specifically optimized to evaluate the small intestine, excellent for assessing inflammation (e.g., Crohn's disease).
CT Enterography: A CT scan providing detailed images of the small bowel wall and surrounding structures.
These are diagnostic tools, not treatments. The choice of scan—whether a simple contrast study or a complex CT/MR—is made by your referring doctor and the radiologist doctor based on your specific symptoms, medical history, and the clinical question that needs answering.If you have ongoing digestive issues, the first step is a consultation with your healthcare provider to determine the most appropriate diagnostic path for you 👉🏾 mic.co.zw

For men with symptoms of an enlarged prostate (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia or BPH), understanding different treatment approaches is key.
Two common procedures are:
▪ TURP (Transurethral Resection of the Prostate): A surgical procedure to remove prostate tissue. It is performed under anesthesia and may involve a hospital stay.
▪ PAE (Prostate Artery Embolisation): A minimally invasive, image-guided treatment that reduces blood flow to the prostate, leading to a gradual size reduction.
These treatments differ in technique, invasiveness, and recovery. The choice between them is a medical decision made by your urologist and interventional radiologist based on your specific diagnosis and health profile.
If you have BPH, discuss all suitable management options with your healthcare provider. 👉🏾 mic.co.zw/pae

Cardiac imaging helps your doctor assess heart structure, function, and blood flow. Different tests provide different information:
❤️ Echocardiogram (Echo): Uses ultrasound waves to create real-time moving images of your heart's chambers, valves, and pumping action.
❤️ CT Calcium Score: A quick, non-contrast CT scan that measures calcium plaque buildup in coronary arteries, helping assess overall heart attack risk.
❤️ CT Coronary Angiogram: An advanced CT scan using contrast dye to create detailed 3D images of the coronary arteries to evaluate for blockages or narrowing.
❤️ Cardiac MRI: Uses a magnetic field and radio waves to produce highly detailed images of heart muscle, structure, tissue health, and function, without radiation.
These are diagnostic tools. Your cardiologist or doctor will determine if and which test is appropriate based on your individual symptoms, history, and risk factors.
If you have concerns about heart health, the first and most important step is a consultation with your healthcare provider.
