Interventional Procedures in Brisbane

Minimally invasive, image-guided procedures performed by specialist radiologists.


Interventional radiology is a subspecialty of medical imaging that uses ultrasound or CT to guide needles and small instruments with precision. These procedures may be used for biopsies, injections, drainage and other targeted treatments—often with less discomfort and faster recovery than traditional surgery.

Joint Injections

Targeted injection therapy to reduce inflammation and pain.
We perform precise injections into joints such as the hip, knee or shoulder to help manage arthritis, bursitis and other joint conditions.

PRP Injections

Support healing using your body’s own biological therapies.
Where appropriate, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or autologous blood injections may be used to encourage natural repair in selected tendon or joint conditions.

Nerve Root Block

Targeted relief for nerve-related back or neck pain.
A nerve root block is an image-guided injection that delivers anti-inflammatory medication and local anaesthetic around a specific spinal nerve. It can help reduce pain that radiates into an arm or leg and may also assist your doctor in identifying the source of symptoms.

Core Biopsy

Image-guided tissue sampling, including breast biopsies, to support diagnosis.
A core biopsy is a minimally invasive procedure where a small needle is guided (using ultrasound or CT) to collect tiny tissue samples from an area of concern. This may include breast tissue as well as other organs or soft tissues. Samples are sent to the laboratory for detailed analysis to help your doctor plan next steps.

Interventional Procedures FAQs

How Do I Prepare for Interventional Procedures?

Most Radiology procedures do not require specific preparation, however there are some exceptions. Those that involve the neck, chest, abdomen or pelvis, will require a fasting period prior, however the Brisbane Radiology team will advise if so.

What Happens After My Procedure?

If you are in good health and feeling well, you’ll be permitted to return home promptly. However, in some instances, you might be asked to stay for an observation period to ensure your well being.
