Introduction
The Radiodiagnosis Department has the newest, most advanced techniques and sections are organised in an organ-system structure. The radiologists work in close collaboration with the technicians and nurses tperform high-quality examinations and offer the patient the best care.
The involvement of the radiologisists in the Functional Units and Committees must alsbe underlined, playing an active role in the decision-making process as experts, fostering the multi-disciplinary management of patients, and collaborating in the development of personalised medicine. The tumor ablation techniques and vascular intervention procedures performed in radiology are perfectly integrated intthe other medical, surgical and radiotherapy treatments. There is excellent coordination with the management and administration team toptimise resources and provide a better response tpatients. Twcharacteristics of the department must be highlighted: precision radiology, which is essential for the success of complex surgeries, a hallmark of the Hospital, and the significant of interventional diagnosis and therapy in every-day activity.
