Assessment of systems and procedures in image-guided interventions (IGI) is crucial but complex, and addresses diverse aspects. This chapter introduces a framework for dealing with this complexity and diversity, and is based on some of the major related concepts in health care. Six assessment levels are distinguished in IGI. The main phases and components of assessment methodology are described with an emphasis on the specification and the reporting phases, and on the clear initial formulation of the assessment objective. The methodology is presented in a systematic order to allow interinstitutional comparison. Finally, we outline the need for standardization in IGI assessment to improve the quality of systems, their acceptance by surgeons, and facilitate their transfer from research to clinical practice.
