Learning Objectives
This course is aimed at Interventional Radiologists, Vascular Surgeons, Interventional Cardiologists, Neurointerventionalists and Oncologists. In addition, this course is designed to address the needs of Radiologic Technicians and Nurses involved in percutaneous and endovascular therapies.
At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to:
- Describe the appropriate patients and techniques for interventional oncology
- Describe and utilize techniques for treating pulmonary embolism and chronic venous occlusions
- Implement new techniques for treatment of peripheral vascular disease
- Discuss the role of MDCT in imaging arterial and venous diseases
- Implement current minimally invasive treatment methods for diseases of the spine and bone
- Optimize CT imaging of acute aortic syndromes and venous thrombo-embolism
- Describe the role of interventional radiology in treatment of infertility
- Describe the future direction of interventional radiology with regard to molecular imaging and stem cell technology, as well as new imaging platforms
- Implement new practice development and quality programs in interventional radiology
Statement of Need
Interventional radiology is a rapidly growing field, constantly evolving and developing new techniques and addressing new challenges. Vascular disease is a leading cause of disability and death in patients over age 50. Nonvascular intervention, especially in oncology patients, continues to increase in most practices. Addressing these and other issues relies on the knowledge and skills of physicians, nurses, technologists and others working within interventional radiology and oncology. Their continual education is critical for staying current with the changes in the technology, treatment and therapies in key areas of interventional radiology.
Accreditation
The Stanford University School of Medicine is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for physicians.
