UCSF Interventional Radiology Review

Overview

CME Essentials for Interventional Radiologists

UCSF Interventional Radiology Review explores topics relevant to the practice, from IR fundamentals and basics to cutting-edge vascular interventions and complex interventional oncology techniques.

With primary emphasis on body interventions, this mix of didactic online video CME lectures and case-based reviews covers all routine vascular and non-vascular IR procedures. Additional focus is given to indications, pre-procedural assessment, technical aspects of procedures, and post-procedural follow-up. Highlighted continuing medical education topics include:

• Arterial, venous, and non-vascular interventions
• Liver tumor panel discussion
• Spine and musculoskeletal procedures
• Geniculate, prostate artery, and uterine artery embolization
• Pelvic venous disease treatment
• Liquid embolics
• And more…
