Abstract

Cardiovascular radiology serves as a fundamental pillar in contemporary interventional procedures, offering essential real-time visualization and guidance necessary for procedural success and patient safety. This abstract explores the pivotal role of cardiovascular radiology in interventions, emphasizing its significance, challenges, and future prospects. Through techniques such as fluoroscopy, angiography, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS), cardiovascular radiology provides invaluable insights into vascular structures, blood flow dynamics, and tissue characteristics, enabling precise navigation of catheters and devices within the cardiovascular system. While the field presents challenges such as radiation exposure and complexities in image interpretation, ongoing technological advancements, including low-dose fluoroscopy systems and artificial intelligence (AI)-based image processing algorithms, hold promise for mitigating these challenges and enhancing procedural efficacy and safety. The continued collaboration between radiologists, interventional cardiologists, and industry stakeholders will be essential in realizing the full potential of cardiovascular radiology in advancing the field of interventional cardiology.
