[The future of neuroradiology]

Neuroradiology, originally developed through invasive techniques arising out of cooperation between radiology and neurosurgery, has today become a specialty which, thanks to its new non-invasive methods, can provide much information about diseases of the nervous system. The diagnosis of affections of the brain parenchyma in vivo by computed tomography or magnetic resonance demands intensive cooperation between all the specialties in the field of neurosciences, especially neurobiochemistry. Beyond its diagnostic applications, interventional neuroradiology has opened up promising therapeutic perspectives.
