Medical Training AIInterventional Radiology Fundamentals
You'll be able to reason through vascular access, image-guided biopsy, drainage, and basic embolization decisions with a clear grasp of technique selection and complication recognition.
What this track covers
This track covers the core building blocks of interventional radiology practice: arterial and venous access, image-guided biopsy and drainage procedures, venous interventions like central lines and IVC filters, and the principles behind basic embolization. It's aimed at clinicians who need a working understanding of how these procedures are planned, performed, and monitored, including recognizing and managing complications.
What you will practice
- Choosing arterial vs. venous access sites and appropriate ultrasound-guided technique
- Selecting imaging modality (CT, ultrasound, fluoroscopy) for a given biopsy target
- Working through abscess, biliary, and nephrostomy drainage decision points
- Comparing central venous catheter, port, PICC, and IVC filter indications
- Recognizing early signs of post-procedure complications and next steps
Simulator scenario
A simulator case where the virtual patient develops a fever and worsening pain after a percutaneous abscess drainage, requiring the clinician to work through complication assessment and next steps.
Board question topics
- Vascular access technique and site selection
- Image-guided biopsy modality selection
- Drainage procedure indications and complications
- Venous access device selection and IVC filter criteria
