At ImageCare Radiology, we provide comprehensive kidney and urinary disease treatments in New Jersey. With a commitment to advanced patient care, our interventional radiologists utilize image-guided, minimally invasive techniques to treat various urinary tract conditions, improving the quality of life for our patients.
Kidney and Urinary Disease Treatments
Our facility is equipped with state-of-the-art imaging technologies such as ultrasound and fluoroscopy to deliver precise and effective treatments. ImageCare Radiology’s team of skilled interventional radiologists is adept at performing a variety of procedures that offer alternatives to traditional surgery, leading to less pain, shorter recovery times, and minimized risks. These procedures include:
Ureteral Stenting
Ureteral stenting is a procedure where a thin tube, or stent, is placed in the ureter to restore the flow of urine from the kidney to the bladder. This treatment is often employed when the ureter is obstructed due to conditions such as kidney stones, tumors, or after certain surgical procedures. The stent allows urine to bypass blockages, alleviating pain and preventing potential kidney damage.
Nephrostomy
A nephrostomy is performed when urine needs to be drained directly from the kidney to the outside of the body. A small catheter is placed through the skin into the kidney under image guidance. This is often used in situations where normal urine flow through the bladder is not possible due to blockages or surgical recovery.
Kidney Biopsy
When diagnosing certain kidney conditions, a kidney biopsy may be necessary. This minimally invasive procedure involves removing a small sample of kidney tissue, which is then analyzed for signs of kidney disease or cancer. This biopsy is performed under imaging guidance to ensure accuracy and safety.
Kidney Tumor Cryoablation
Kidney tumor cryoablation is an innovative treatment that involves freezing cancer cells to kill them without the need for open surgery. This technique is particularly beneficial for patients who cannot undergo surgery or as an option to manage smaller kidney tumors.
