Interventional radiology can be defined as the medical field of all diagnostic and therapeutic procedures performed with imaging techniques (Sonography, angiography, X-scanner, Magnetic resonance, radionuclides ... ). Interventional Radiology comprises 350 types-procedures in common use, that represent more than half a million acts/year in France. Its development was promoted by all the innovations in imaging and by pioneers of Radiology who created new and adaptative tools in order to act as atraumatically as possible but specifically on the pathological process. Interventional radiology needs practitioners who received a double education in imaging and medico-surgical specialty (before entering in an interventional imaging training). To develop and evaluate the tools of tomorrow, Interventional Radiology needs to develop one or several research interfaces where interventional radiology, companies and searchers could meet and work altogether.
介入放射学可定义为利用成像技术（超声、血管造影、X射线扫描仪、磁共振、放射性核素……）进行所有诊断和治疗程序的医学领域。介入放射学包括350种常用程序，在法国每年实施超过50万例。成像技术的所有创新以及放射学先驱者推动了其发展，他们创造了新的适应性工具，以便尽可能无创地、但专门针对病理过程进行操作。介入放射学需要在成像和内科-外科专业接受过双重教育的从业者（在进入介入成像培训之前）。为了开发和评估未来的工具，介入放射学需要建立一个或几个研究接口，介入放射学、公司和研究人员可以在此汇聚并共同开展工作。
