Invasive radiology.
The history of invasive radiology is a history of cooperative effort of scientists in physics and chemistry, of engineers in academic settings and industry and of the medical community. Research and development in the technological sciences opened doors to clinical application. Clinical imperatives drove research and development. Parallel advances in catheters, contrast materials and radiologic equipment came together to permit invasive radiologists to pursue advances in diagnosis and therapy, in a setting of patient safety.
