Image-Guided Biopsy & Drainage Simulation Training

Training Overview

Image-Guided Biopsy & Drainage Simulation Training is a comprehensive, simulation-based procedural program designed for interventional radiologists, oncologists, surgeons, and residents aiming to enhance their competence in performing precise image-guided biopsies and drainage procedures. This two-day course integrates structured theoretical instruction with immersive hands-on simulation, focusing on safe lesion targeting, procedural planning, and complication management using modern imaging guidance.

The program begins with detailed sessions on imaging modalities including ultrasound, CT, and MRI, procedural indications, sterile techniques, and complication prevention. Participants explore key principles including lesion localization, needle trajectory planning, device selection, and safe patient positioning.

Hands-on simulation modules allow participants to perform complete procedural workflows using high-fidelity anatomical models and imaging simulators. Under expert supervision, attendees practice ultrasound and CT-guided biopsies, fluid and abscess drainage, catheter placement, and procedural troubleshooting with emphasis on accuracy, safety, and efficiency.

Through interactive video reviews, case-based discussions, and faculty-guided debriefings, participants analyze real-world procedural scenarios and refine decision-making in lesion targeting, sampling strategies, and drainage techniques. Structured performance feedback supports continuous improvement in technical skills and clinical judgment.

By the end of the program, participants will have developed the technical expertise, imaging interpretation skills, and procedural confidence necessary to perform image-guided biopsies and drainage interventions safely and effectively.
