Abstract
Interventional radiology is a branch of radiology that includes all invasive procedures or minimally invasive diagnostic and therapeutic performed using radiological guidance (ultrasound, fluoroscopy, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging). Its goal is to achieve results equal to, or better than, the corresponding surgery, with less risk, fewer complications, and lower costs. It is an emerging discipline in many fields, often indispensable in both the diagnostic and therapeutic- surgical phases.
