State-of-the-Art Imaging and Interventional Radiology

The Office of Continuing Medical Education, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA

The State-of-the-Art Imaging and Interventional Radiology program provides an in-depth review of vascular imaging and interventional radiology, as well as exploring important new developments that have occurred or are about to make the transition from the bench top to clinical practice. Leading experts from UCLA and premier departments across the country and around the world present cutting edge information on interventional oncology, peripheral vascular disease, stroke, AVM therapies, and pain management.

A significant portion of this activity is dedicated to advanced imaging of vascular disorders. Faculty provide a practical approach to each therapeutic modality and offer useful tools participants will be able to incorporate into their daily practice.

This activity is relevant to interventional radiologists, neuro-interventional radiologists, and radiologists whose day-to-day practice involves vascular imaging or various aspects of intervention.

Stephen T. Kee, MD, Associate Professor of Radiological Sciences and Chief of Interventional Radiology at David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA is the course chair.
