Abstrakt: This review provides a thorough understanding of the developments in the field of interventional neuroradiology (INR). A concise overview of the pioneering past and current state of this field is presented first, followed by a greater emphasis on its future. Five main aspects predicted to undergo significant developments are identified and discussed. These include changes in 'education and training', 'clinical practice and logistics', 'devices and equipment', 'techniques and procedures', and 'relevant diagnostic imaging'. INR is at the crossroads of neuroradiology, neurosurgery, neurology, and the neurosciences. To progress we must value the uniqueness and vitality of this multidisciplinary aspect. While minimal access techniques offer very good anatomical accessibility to treat multiple pathologies of the central nervous system, it is also important to recognise its limitations. Medical, surgical, and radiosurgery modalities retain an important role in the management of some complex neuropathology. This review is certainly not exhaustive of all ongoing and predicted developments, but it is an important update for INR specialists and other interested professionals.
