Abstract
The integration of radiography with interventional procedures has transformed modern medicine by enhancing diagnostic precision and procedural outcomes. This review explores the synergy between radiographic techniques and interventional medicine, focusing on how radiographic imaging—such as fluoroscopy, digital subtraction angiography (DSA), and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT)—supports various minimally invasive treatments. It highlights the role of radiography in guiding cardiovascular, neurointerventional, oncological, and orthopedic procedures, providing real-time visualization that is crucial for accurate diagnosis and intervention. Technological advancements, including high-resolution detectors, artificial intelligence, and the fusion of imaging modalities, have further augmented the capabilities of radiographic imaging in interventional contexts. Despite these advances, challenges related to radiation safety, the need for specialized training, and the pursuit of future innovations remain. This review underscores the significant impact of radiographic imaging on interventional procedures and discusses directions for future research and development to enhance patient care and procedural efficacy.
