Popis: 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.
