At Dr. Raja's Vein & Intervention Clinic (Star Imaging, Bathinda), we offer a complete range of ultrasound (USG) guided interventional procedures. Real-time image guidance lets us perform precise, minimally invasive diagnostics and treatments — usually under local anaesthesia, as a same-day procedure, without the need for surgery or general anaesthesia.
Diagnostic USG Guided Procedures
- USG Guided FNAC — Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology of thyroid nodules, neck lumps, breast lumps, lymph nodes and deep masses.
- USG Guided Biopsy — Tru-cut core biopsy of liver, kidney, lung, breast, soft-tissue and other lesions for histopathology.
- EUS Guided Biopsy — Endoscopic ultrasound-guided sampling of pancreas and GI tract.
Therapeutic USG Guided Drainage Procedures
- USG Guided Drainage — Percutaneous drainage of abscesses, collections, ascites and pleural effusions.
- Liver Abscess Drainage — Pigtail catheter drainage for amoebic and pyogenic liver abscess.
- Percutaneous Transhepatic Biliary Drainage (PTBD) — Life-saving drainage for obstructive jaundice.
- Percutaneous Nephrostomy — Urgent kidney drainage for obstructed kidneys.
CT Guided Procedures
Why USG Guided Procedures
- Real-time accuracy — needle is visualised live, avoiding blood vessels and critical structures
- No radiation exposure (unlike CT or fluoroscopy guidance)
- Minimally invasive — usually a small needle puncture under local anaesthesia
- Same-day discharge — most patients go home within 1-2 hours
- Performed personally by Dr. Ambrish Raja with 1500+ procedures of experience

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a USG guided procedure painful?
No. Local anaesthesia is given before the needle puncture, so most patients feel only a brief pinprick. The procedure itself is well tolerated.
How long does it take?
Most diagnostic procedures (FNAC, biopsy) take 15-30 minutes. Drainage procedures take 30-45 minutes including catheter placement.
Can I go home the same day?
Yes — almost all USG guided diagnostic and drainage procedures are done as same-day, walk-in walk-out procedures.
How do I book?
