t is goal directed to improve operator performance and safety to real-life interventional scenarios in ultrasound and fluoroscopic image-guided procedures. The course is performed at the ASSERT’s state-of-the-art medical simulation facility and will run in a simulated Interventional Radiology Suite environment using fresh frozen cadaveric specimens. The use of fresh cadaveric specimens allows for high fidelity simulated clinical practice. This maximizes intervention time for each participant and allows for one-to-one tuition from the expert faculty. Examples of the procedures you will practice include percutaneous ultrasound-guided liver biopsy and abscess drainage. You will also perform fluoroscopic percutaneous lumbar procedures and access a cerebral aneurysm with a thrombectomy flow model. 

Learning outcomes: 

After doing this course you will: 

• Increase your proficiency in percutaneous ultrasound-guided biopsies. 

• Gain more confidence in applied surface anatomy. 

• Improve your skills in targeted lesion biopsy. 

• Gain knowledge in the tips and tricks in interventional radiology practice.
