Learning Objectives

After viewing this activity, participants will demonstrate the ability to:

• Improve technique in arterial and venous interventions
• Understand the implications of interventional oncology procedures
• Describe indications and recommend techniques for gastrointestinal and genitourinary tract interventions
• Know the benefits and limitations in selecting IR devices (shunts, stents, catheters, etc)
• Correctly interpret CT, MR and US non-invasive vascular images
• Understand the scope of Neuro and Musculoskeletal interventions
• Identify potential pitfalls and safety issues associated with IR procedures in order to minimize complications

Intended Audience

The activity was planned for radiologists actively practicing interventional radiology, and newly qualified interventional radiologists wanting to compare their knowledge and training with UCSF experts. The course is focused primarily on body interventions (rather than neuroradiological).
