Digital Radiography and Fluoroscopy Digital Radiography (x-rays) use a small amount of ionizing radiation to produce images of bones and tissue without requiring actual film. X-rays are useful for examining lungs and bone. Fluoroscopy is a type of x-ray imaging used to provide moving images that can be viewed via closed-circuit television monitor. Thus, the radiologist can view specific body parts while they are functioning. Fluoroscopy is especially valuable in evaluating the lower gastrointestinal system.

In caring for patients, we offer a glimpse at the future of medicine, with minimally invasive interventions tailored to individual patients, utilizing cutting edge technology, and state-of-the-art image guidance. I value working alongside physicians of all specialties to identify solutions for each unique patient, and am grateful for the opportunity to apply my expertise to the care of patients in the Baton Rouge community.
Ryan N. Majoria, M.D.
It takes real dedication to be able to offer modern interventional services because they're 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It requires a great team effort, and that's one of the greatest qualities of our interventional team at Our Lady of the Lake. We have to know about all disease processes because radiology is such a broad-spectrum specialty. I particularly enjoy performing the therapeutic procedures in interventional radiology, such as Yttrium-90 radioembolization for liver cancer, because we can really make an impact on our patient's quality of life and survival.

I enjoy the intellectual challenge of evaluating, diagnosing, and often treating a wide variety of disease processes. Interventional Radiology provides ample opportunities to perform hands-on procedures, thus enabling the practitioner to take a more active role in patient management and outcome.

Chemoembolization combines chemotherapy and the embolization procedure to treat cancer, primarily in the liver. Embolization is a treatment in which blood vessels or malformations within blood vessels are blocked off. In chemoembolization, the anti-cancer drugs are injected directly into a cancerous tumor while an embolic agent is used to maintain the chemotherapy within the tumor which helps to prolong the effect of the chemotherapy agent.

Radiofrequency ablation employs a probe placed percutaneously under CT guidance and uses heat to destroy tumors in the liver, kidney, lung and bone. Imaging techniques, such as ultrasound and CT, are used to help guide a needle electrode into a cancerous tumor.

Uterine Fibroid Embolization shrinks fibroids, the benign, non-cancerous growths in or on the walls of the uterus or womb. UFE involves inserting microspheres into the blood vessels leading to the fibroids, reducing blood flow and causing them to shrink. It is an excellent alternative to hysterectomy, as it is less invasive and carries with it a shorter recovery time.

Vertebroplasty helps treat the pain and stabilize vertebral compression fractures. A relatively new procedure done on an outpatient basis, it involves making a small incision in the skin while using image guidance to insert a needle filled with a specially formulated acrylic bone cement into the vertebra.

Delivered into the epidural space of the spine, an epidural injection provides temporary or prolonged relief from pain or inflammation. Steroids, anesthetics and anti-inflammatory medications are typically delivered. The injection may reduce pain and swelling in and around the spinal nerve roots, as well as around damaged nerves, which in time may heal. Imaging guidance may be used to help the doctor precisely place the needle.

Catheter-directed thrombolysis is performed under imaging guidance. This procedure is designed to rapidly break up the clot, restore blood flow within the vein, and potentially preserve valve function to minimize the risk of post-thrombotic syndrome. Any narrowing in the vein that might lead to future clot formation can be identified by venography, an imaging study of the veins, and treated by the interventional radiologist with a balloon angioplasty or stent placement.

For patients whom thrombolysis and stenting is not appropriate and blood thinners are not medically appropriate, a vena cava filter may be inserted. IVC is a small device that functions like a catcher's mitt to capture blood clots, but allows normal liquid blood to pass.
