Fellowship in Interventional Radiology
Gain advanced expertise in minimally invasive, image-guided vascular and non-vascular procedures for comprehensive interventional radiology practice.
Course Overview
The Fellowship in Interventional Radiology is an advanced postgraduate training program designed to develop expertise in minimally invasive, image-guided diagnostic and therapeutic procedures across multiple organ systems. The program emphasizes vascular and non-vascular interventions, oncologic procedures, embolization techniques, drainage procedures, and patient safety, integrating evidence-based practice, clinical correlation, and multidisciplinary collaboration. Fellows gain hands-on experience in catheter-based interventions, percutaneous procedures, and complex image-guided therapies, preparing them for independent practice in tertiary and specialized healthcare settings.
What You'll Learn
Perform and interpret advanced imaging for procedural planning (CT, MRI, Ultrasound, fluoroscopy).
Execute minimally invasive vascular interventions safely (angioplasty, stenting, embolization).
Perform non-vascular image-guided procedures (biopsies, drainages, ablations).
Manage peri-procedural patient care and complications.
Select appropriate devices, access routes, and embolic materials.
Apply radiation safety and dose optimization principles.
Integrate interventional procedures into multidisciplinary patient management.
Communicate effectively with patients, families, and referring clinicians.
Practice ethical, evidence-based interventional radiology.
Participate in research, audit, and quality improvement initiatives.
