This course is intended for residents and recently board-certified radiologists starting or aiming to work in Interventional Radiology (IR). It is designed to provide an introduction into the basic techniques and practices in IR. Important topics in daily clinical work in IR will be treated together with case-based and hands-on activities. In this Basic IR course, tips and tricks for CT-guided interventions including biopsies, drainages and tumour ablations will be presented together with detailed information about IR treatment of peripheral arterial disease from the pelvis down to the foot. Following recent evolutions of interventional techniques, oncology and emergency IR will also be covered (i.e. embolization and tumour treatment). Finally state-of-the-art techniques for interventional line and venous access placement will be presented. The combination of didactic lectures and interactive, case-based and hands-on workshops guarantees the high educational value of this teaching programme.
