UCSF Interventional Radiology Review 2025
CME Essentials for Interventional Radiologists
UCSF Interventional Radiology Review explores topics relevant to the practice, from IR fundamentals and basics to cutting-edge vascular interventions and complex interventional oncology techniques.
With primary emphasis on body interventions, this mix of didactic online video CME lectures and case-based reviews covers all routine vascular and non-vascular IR procedures. Additional focus is given to indications, pre-procedural assessment, technical aspects of procedures, and post-procedural follow-up. Highlighted continuing medical education topics include:
- Arterial, venous, and non-vascular interventions
- Liver tumor panel discussion
- Spine and musculoskeletal procedures
- Geniculate, prostate artery, and uterine artery embolization
- Pelvic venous disease treatment
- Liquid embolics
- And more…
