Ultrasound & CT-Guided Biopsy and Drainage Workshop

Training Overview

Ultrasound & CT-Guided Biopsy and Drainage Workshop is a comprehensive, simulation-based training program designed for interventional radiologists, oncologists, pulmonologists, surgeons, and trainees aiming to enhance their competence in image-guided biopsy and drainage procedures. This two-day course integrates structured theoretical instruction with immersive hands-on simulation, focusing on accurate targeting, procedural safety, and clinical decision-making.

The program begins with in-depth sessions on cross-sectional and ultrasound imaging principles, lesion localization, procedural planning, and complication prevention strategies. Participants explore key principles including sterile technique, needle guidance, tissue sampling, fluid drainage, and patient safety considerations.

Hands-on simulation modules allow participants to perform complete biopsy and drainage workflows using high-fidelity ultrasound and CT-guided simulators. Under expert supervision, attendees practice percutaneous biopsies, abscess drainage, thoracic and abdominal fluid evacuation, and management of expected and rare complications with emphasis on precision, safety, and clinical judgment.

Through interactive video reviews, case-based discussions, and faculty-guided debriefings, participants analyze real-world biopsy and drainage scenarios and refine decision-making for lesion selection, image guidance, and complication management. Structured performance feedback supports continuous improvement in technical skills, confidence, and patient care quality.

By the end of the program, participants will have developed the technical expertise, imaging-guided procedural skills, and clinical judgment necessary to perform ultrasound- and CT-guided biopsy and drainage safely, efficiently, and confidently.
