Image-Guided - Endovascular Interventions

The IR fundamentals module for endovascular intervention will provide a brief overview of the tools and techniques used for the myriad of intra-arterial and intra-venous procedures that interventional radiologists perform. The topics covered are vast, and will require further learning for eventual mastery of the concepts; however, this module will serve as a proper introduction to the broad field of vascular procedures and devices.
