The new interventional centrea multidisciplinary R&D clinic for interventional radiology and minimal access surgery
The National Hospital wanted to coordinate and promote the development of new minimally invasive procedures by structuring collaboration and communication across traditional speciality boundaries. To achieve this, a new hospital department has been established, a neutral ground for working with such clinical applications in multi-disciplinary teams with surgeons, radiologists, cardiologists etc., individually composed for the type of intervention to be performed. The Interventional Centre also represents a full fusion of a modern radiology department with a state-of-the-art operating department, securing the use of relevant imaging technologies, aseptic conditions and options of converting any key-hole procedure to open, conventional surgery within minutes. The Centre represents a new organizational model for such activities. It is also a technology centre, a common tool-box securing better access and higher quality for the use of advanced radiological and surgical technology in our hospital.
