Interventional imaging is maturing into a complex field, which addresses an extremely diverse pathology and integrates the findings of multimodality imaging. The interventional imager is an essential member of a multidisciplinary team focused on the transcatheter treatment of structural heart disease. Advanced echocardiography and cardiac computed tomography techniques and interpretation skills are required in order to provide instrumental information in all stages of patient care, from diagnosis through intraprocedural guidance and follow-up.
