Women experience unique health issues and conditions. Interventional radiologists treat a variety of those using endovascular techniques but traditional surgery remains sometimes the only treatment available. Today, interventional radiologists have developed percutaneous image-guided procedures to address some of conditions, such as breast tumors, infertility or endometriosis, often with less pain and shorter recovery time than open surgery. Discover how these new perspectives in non vascular IR improve women’s health.

Learning Objectives:

Upon completion, participant will be aware of different aspects of women's health that can be addressed by Interventional Radiology
Upon completion, participant will be able to identify the ways interventional radioloty can address women's health including abdominal and breast interventions.
Upon completion, participant will be able to better introduce specialized treatments in women's health to their practice.
