Dr. Prajwith K J Rai is an Interventional Radiologist in Bangalore with 6 years of experience, as listed by Fortis Healthcare. He practices as Consultant in Interventional Radiology at Fortis Hospital, Bannerghatta Road, Bengaluru. His clinical expertise includes minimally invasive image-guided procedures for vascular conditions, uterine fibroids, thyroid nodules and selected tumors or focal lesions.
Dr. Prajwith K J Rai completed his MBBS from Father Muller Institute of Medical Education and Research, Mangalore, in 2016. He subsequently obtained his MD in Radio Diagnosis from A.J. Institute of Medical Sciences & Research Centre, Mangalore, in 2020. His additional qualifications listed by Practo include DNB in Radio Diagnosis and DrNB in Interventional Radiology.
His professional experience includes postgraduate radiology training at A.J. Institute of Medical Sciences, followed by senior residency at Kanachur Institute of Medical Sciences and Narayana Hrudayalaya. Practo lists his association with Fortis Hospitals in Bangalore from 2024 onward. His training and hospital experience support his work in diagnostic imaging and minimally invasive interventional procedures.
Dr. Prajwith K J Rai has a clinical interest in treating varicose veins through minimally invasive procedures such as radiofrequency ablation, endovenous laser ablation and foam sclerotherapy. These treatments may be considered for appropriately selected patients with symptomatic venous insufficiency after clinical evaluation and appropriate vascular imaging.
His expertise also includes uterine artery embolization, a minimally invasive procedure that may be used to treat symptomatic uterine fibroids in suitable patients. The procedure involves using imaging guidance to deliver small embolic particles into selected blood vessels supplying the fibroids, reducing their blood flow. Treatment suitability is determined through gynecological and interventional radiology assessment.
Dr. Prajwith K J Rai provides interventional treatment for selected thyroid nodules and parathyroid adenomas using image-guided ablation techniques. Depending on the diagnosis, treatment may offer a minimally invasive alternative to conventional surgery for suitable patients. Detailed imaging, laboratory investigations and appropriate specialist evaluation are important before treatment selection.
His listed interventional procedures include radiofrequency ablation for selected focal lesions involving the liver, lungs and bones. Image-guided ablation techniques use controlled energy to treat targeted tissue while attempting to preserve surrounding healthy structures. Eligibility depends on lesion characteristics, diagnosis, anatomical location and multidisciplinary medical recommendations.
Interventional Radiology combines advanced imaging with minimally invasive treatments performed through small skin punctures or catheter-based techniques. Dr. Prajwith K J Rai's clinical interests include vascular intervention, non-surgical treatment options for selected benign conditions and image-guided tumor ablation.
His approach emphasizes detailed clinical evaluation, appropriate imaging investigations, discussion of medical and procedural alternatives, and individualized treatment planning. Patients are assessed for expected benefits, possible complications and the need for additional specialist care or follow-up.
At Fortis Hospital, Bannerghatta Road, Bangalore, Dr. Prajwith K J Rai provides specialist interventional radiology consultation for selected vascular conditions, symptomatic uterine fibroids, thyroid and parathyroid lesions, and focal abnormalities that may be suitable for minimally invasive image-guided treatment.
Dr. Prajwith K J Rai specializes in minimally invasive image-guided procedures for selected vascular, gynecological and other medical conditions. Interventional Radiology uses imaging technologies to guide needles, catheters and specialized instruments during diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.
Dr. Prajwith K J Rai provides minimally invasive treatment options for selected patients with symptomatic varicose veins. Evaluation may involve clinical examination and Doppler ultrasound to assess venous reflux and determine whether procedural treatment is suitable.
Radiofrequency ablation is a catheter-based procedure that uses controlled heat to close selected abnormal superficial veins. It may help relieve symptoms associated with venous insufficiency in patients who are suitable for endovenous treatment.
Dr. Prajwith K J Rai lists endovenous laser ablation among his interventional procedures. The treatment uses laser energy delivered through a catheter to close an affected vein. Suitability depends on venous anatomy, ultrasound findings and the patient's overall health.
Foam sclerotherapy involves injecting a specialized solution into selected abnormal veins to promote their closure. It may be used for certain varicose veins or residual venous abnormalities following appropriate vascular assessment.
Dr. Prajwith K J Rai provides uterine artery embolization for selected patients with symptomatic uterine fibroids. The procedure reduces blood flow to the fibroids through targeted embolization and may help manage symptoms such as heavy menstrual bleeding or pelvic pressure.
He offers image-guided ablation for selected thyroid nodules. This minimally invasive approach may be considered for suitable benign nodules causing symptoms or cosmetic concerns following appropriate diagnostic confirmation and specialist assessment.
Dr. Prajwith K J Rai lists parathyroid adenoma ablation among his interventional procedures. Treatment requires careful assessment of biochemical findings, lesion location and suitability, with coordination between interventional radiology and endocrine specialists.
Dr. Prajwith K J Rai provides image-guided radiofrequency ablation for selected focal liver lesions. The procedure uses controlled thermal energy to treat targeted tissue, with suitability determined by lesion size, location, diagnosis and liver function.
His listed services include image-guided ablation of selected lung lesions. Treatment planning requires appropriate imaging, evaluation of respiratory function and careful consideration of procedural risks, including pneumothorax and bleeding.
Radiofrequency ablation may be considered for selected focal bone lesions. This image-guided technique uses thermal energy to treat targeted tissue and may be used in appropriately selected benign or malignant conditions following specialist evaluation.
Interventional radiology offers catheter-based treatment approaches for selected blood vessel disorders. Dr. Prajwith K J Rai's documented services include endovenous ablation and other minimally invasive treatments for venous conditions.
Dr. Prajwith K J Rai has listed expertise in radiofrequency ablation of selected liver, lung and bone lesions. Image guidance helps position the treatment probe accurately, while treatment suitability depends on tumor characteristics and multidisciplinary recommendations.

Quick answers to common questions about Dr. Prajwith K J Rai
Varicose veins may be treated using radiofrequency ablation, endovenous laser ablation or foam sclerotherapy. Dr. Prajwith K J Rai provides these interventional treatments for suitable patients after evaluating venous anatomy and Doppler ultrasound findings.
Radiofrequency ablation uses controlled thermal energy delivered through a catheter to close an abnormal superficial vein. Blood is redirected through healthier veins. The procedure is generally performed through a small skin puncture, and recovery depends on individual clinical factors.
Uterine artery embolization is a minimally invasive treatment option for selected patients with symptomatic uterine fibroids. It blocks the blood vessels supplying the fibroids, causing them to shrink over time. Suitability depends on symptoms, imaging findings and reproductive plans.
Thyroid nodule radiofrequency ablation uses heat generated through a specialized probe to reduce the size of selected thyroid nodules. It is generally considered for appropriately evaluated benign nodules that cause symptoms or cosmetic concerns. Not every thyroid nodule is suitable.
Image-guided liver tumor ablation uses imaging to position a specialized treatment probe within or near selected lesions. Radiofrequency energy can destroy targeted tissue. Treatment suitability depends on lesion type, size, location, liver function and cancer treatment planning.
