Abstract

The field of interventional radiology keeps growing and developing each year. The different health systems all over the world try to implement this subspecialty in most major hospitals due to its reliability, safety and efficacy. Growing demand is making it possible to bring down the prices of the technologies necessary for good practice. Moreover, due to globalisation and the consequent exchange of data allows different institutions to intercommunicate and get conclusions in much efficient manner. It is difficult to make a distinction between both, diagnostic and intervention radiology, since both subspecialties overlap bringing together a group of professionals that can at the same time analyse some pathology and fix it if possible. Many open surgical interventions are being substituted by small closed radiologic interventions decreasing the cost and improving the patient outcomes. In the musculoskeletal system the appliances of interventional radiology are many but must be remarked its great utility in percutaneous biopsies and intra-articular injections with different drugs. There is a whole set of medical instruments used by radiologist which is yearly updated due to new studies that show better or lower performance depending on the intervention carried out. Radiology is without doubt playing a major role on the medical panorama, the biggest burden is to make these technologies available for a bigger sector of the population and not just for developed countries. This paper describes the division of this subspecialty and gives a general scope of the different procedures existing without going to deep into the many technical aspects that each one carries.

Abstract (croatian)

Područje intervencijske radiologije raste i razvija se svake godine. Različiti zdravstveni sustavi širom svijeta pokušavaju implementirati ovu subspecijalnost u većini velikih bolnica zbog svoje pouzdanosti, sigurnosti i učinkovitosti. Rastuća potražnja omogućava smanjenje cijena tehnologija potrebnih za dobru praksu. Štoviše, zbog globalizacije i posljedične
razmjene podataka omogućuje različitim institucijama međusobno komuniciranje i dobivanje zaključaka na učinkovit način. Teško je napraviti razliku između dijagnostičkih i intervencijskih radiologija, budući da se obje podskupine preklapaju, okupljajući skupinu stručnjaka koji istodobno mogu analizirati neke patologije i ukloniti ih ako je moguće. Mnoge otvorene kirurške intervencije zamjenjuju se malim zatvorenim radiološkim zahvatima, smanjuju troškove i poboljšavaju ishode pacijenata. U sustavu mišićno-koštanog sustava aparati intervencijske radiologije su mnogi, ali treba primijetiti njegovu veliku korisnost u perkutanim biopsijama i intraartikularnim injekcijama s različitim lijekovima. Postoji cijeli niz medicinskih instrumenata koji koristi radiolog koji se godišnje ažurira zbog novih studija koje pokazuju bolju ili manju učinkovitost ovisno o izvršenoj intervenciji. Radiologija bez sumnje igra veliku ulogu u medicinskoj panorami, najveći teret je omogućiti dostupnost tih tehnologija za veći sektor stanovništva, a ne samo za razvijene zemlje. Ovaj rad opisuje podjelu ove subspecijalnosti i daje opći opseg različitih postojećih postupaka bez da ide duboko u mnoge tehničke aspekte koje svaka nosi.
