This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the role of radiology and imaging in surgical decision-making,
highlighting their indispensable contribution to modern surgical practice. Radiological and imaging modalities play
a pivotal role in preoperative planning, intraoperative guidance, and postoperative assessment. The paper explores
various imaging techniques, including X-rays, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI),
ultrasound, and interventional radiology, and their applications in surgical decision-making. It also examines the
evolving landscape of artificial intelligence in radiology and its potential to revolutionize surgical care. Through
this extensive review, we underscore the crucial connection between radiology, imaging, and optimal surgical
outcomes.
