Target Audience
This course is aimed at interventional radiologists, vascular surgeons, interventional cardiologists, neurointerventionalists, oncologists, technologists, nurses, scientists, and physician assistants involved in percutaneous and endovascular therapies.
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to:
- Assess patients at risk for venous thromboembolism (VTE) and provide current preventive, diagnostic, and therapeutic techniques for acute and chronic DVT.
- Apply advanced imaging and image-guided treatments for the management of cancer including the use of RFA, chemoembolization and radiopharmaceuticals.
- Apply imaging techniques and image-guided interventions for the treatment of patients with liver and portal vein disease.
- Evaluate techniques for the treatment of uterine fibroids and apply appropriate treatment strategies.
- Implement advanced techniques for vascular embolization in areas such as the lower extremities and pelvis.
- Optimize your interventional radiology practice through improved strategies for communication, safety and management.
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 such as DVT, embolization, RFA, chemoembolization, UFE , and liver and portal vein interventions.
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.
Credit Designation:
Stanford University School of Medicine designates this educational activity for a maximum of 18.00 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Physicians should only claim credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.Technologists: This course has been approved for up to 16.0 ARRT Category A CE credits for those technologists attending the entire course.
