neurointervention (−11)
TRANSCRIPT
Workshops
Internet Resources (-35)After attending this workshop one will:
1. Understand the hardware, software, and service
needs for full Internet access.
5. To provide a knowledge base from which the prac
ticing peripheral interventional radiologist can better
determine where their particular skills can/should be
applied to the patient with neurovascular disease.
2. Understand basic telecommunication and Internet
terminology.
T. Smith, MD'
G. Teitelbaum, MD
W. Yakes, MD
3. Have experienced an Internet session.
4. Know the difference between file transfer, E-Mail
and Hypertex'1 and be able to use each over the
Internet.
5. Be introduced to Internet resources, especially those
relevant to the interventional radiologists.
Physical Diagnosis (-12)Objectives of this workshop will be to cover four basic
aspects of the physical diagnosis of vascular diseases
including:
1. Physical examination; with illustrations of arterial
and venous diseases.
Neurointervention (-11)The objectives of this workshop are:
J. Thomas, MD*
R. Baum, MD
P. Capek, MD
S. Cooper, MD
A. Greenfield, MD
S. Hernandez, MD
P. O'Moore, MD
R. Rankin, MD
E. Schulze, MD
2. Hospital and clinic case management examples with
various potential treatment algorithms.
3. Duplex ultrasound examination of the peripheral
arteries and veins.
4. Other noninvasive vascular studies, potentially
including transcutaneous oxygenation, pulse volume
recordings, ankle-brachial indices, and others.
1. To introduce the scope of neurointerventional
procedures to the practicing peripheral interventional
radiologist including pertinent anatomy and neuro
functional testing.

2. To discuss the application of peripheral interventional
radiology techniques for vascular diseases of the
central nervous system.
3. To develop a working understanding of the differ
ences in the tools and techniques for interventional
radiology in the central nervous systems versus the
peripheral vascular system.
4. To develop a better understanding of all aspects
of endovascular neurointerventional therapy with
particular emphasis on:
• embolotherapy of extra/intracranial aneurysms,
• endovascular therapy of arteriovenous
malformations/fistulas,
• revascularization of brachiocephalic and
intracranial vessels,
Radiation Protection (-13)The objectives of this workshop are:
1. To update the attendees on the status of FDA recom
mendations that patient dose be monitored for
selected interventional procedures.
2. To outline the currently available methods for com
plying with FDA recommendations.
3. To review how work habits and practice patterns
can affect patient (and operator) radiation dose.
4. To review the pros and cons of available shielding
devices that can be used to lower operator dose.
5. To discuss the issue of practicing interventional
radiology during pregnancy.
• embolotherapy of spine and spinal cord
abnormalities.
