UCSF Radiology – Interventional Review 2015

The UCSF Radiology – Interventional Review is a comprehensive interventional radiology CME program designed to help practitioners make the most of their time. This program covers both basic vascular and non-vascular interventional radiologic procedures, as well as emerging areas of interventional radiologic practice.

Interventional radiology is a rapidly evolving field that utilizes minimally invasive procedures to diagnose and treat diseases. This program focuses on the indications, pre-procedural assessment, technical aspects of the procedure, and post-procedural follow-up for all common interventional radiologic procedures. It is suitable for radiologists actively practicing interventional radiology, as well as newly qualified interventional radiologists wanting to compare their knowledge and training with UCSF experts.

The program covers a wide range of topics, including aortic stent grafting, pleural interventions, systemic venous interventions, hepatic chemoembolization, oncologic interventions, abscess drainage, enteric interventions, urinary tract interventions, radiation safety for interventional radiology, carotid interventions, vertebroplasty, arterial interventions, biliary tract interventions, fibrinolytic therapy, management of endoleaks following EVAR, portal venous interventions, breast interventions, computed tomographic angiography, IVC filters, uterine fibroid embolization, varicose vein management, percutaneous ablation of liver and bone, pulmonary artery interventions, vascular diagnosis, venous interventions, portal venous hypertension, TIPS and portal venous interventions, vascular disease classification, percutaneous ablation of kidney, dialysis interventions, magnetic resonance angiography, non-invasive peripheral vascular exam, coronary CTA, gastrointestinal bleeding, renal angio, PTA & stents, microcatheters and selective catheterization, and non-invasive peripheral vascular exam.

The program features expert speakers from UCSF who are leaders in the field of interventional radiology. Some of the notable speakers include Timothy A.M. Chuter Jr., MD; Miles B. Conrad, MD; Nicholas Fidelman, MD; Roy L. Gordon, MD; Robert Gould, DSc; Steven W. Hetts, MD; Robert K. Kerlan Jr., MD; Maureen P. Kohi, MD; K. Pallav Kolli, MD; Jeanne M. LaBerge, MD; Thomas M. Link, MD, PhD; Sujal Nanavati, MD; Karen G. Ordovás, MD, MAS; Rajiv Sawhney, MD; Richard Saxon, MD; Andrew G. Taylor, MD, PhD; and Mark W. Wilson, MD.

The learning objectives of the program include describing the methods of vascular recanalization, recommending percutaneous methods for varicose veins, selecting and using embolic agents for hemorrhage treatment, recognizing indications for percutaneous procedures, evaluating uterine fibroid embolization, describing contraindications to percutaneous biopsy, distinguishing between different devices used for percutaneous ablation, recommending the use of hepatic arterial chemoembolization and Y90 radioembolization, utilizing appropriate imaging techniques, and describing the current status of carotid artery interventions and vertebroplasty.

This program is intended for radiologists actively practicing interventional radiology, as well as newly qualified interventional radiologists wanting to compare their knowledge and training with UCSF experts. It is focused primarily on body interventional radiology, rather than neuroradiological interventions.

The UCSF Radiology – Interventional Review program is available online and on DVD video formats, allowing practitioners to access the content at their convenience.
