Overview
Interventional Radiology is an interactive learning file that contains 135 interventional cases covering vascular anatomy, vascular interventions, and nonvascular interventions, approximately 500 radiographic images with labels and legends. The user may browse cases by anatomy, or by specific diagnoses.

Educational Objectives
The overall objective of this sequential case-based format is to instruct the user in modality selection, radiologic image interpretation, and appropriate treatment options for patients with vascular and nonvascular diseases.

After reviewing the cases included in this online course, the user should be able to:

1. Describe findings indicative of a variety of vascular and nonvascular diseases and their significance.
2. List options for treating vascular and nonvascular diseases.
3. Describe the standard application of devices approved for use in interventional procedures.
4. Define the utility of a variety of modalities in the evaluation of vascular and nonvascular diseases.

The material included in this module is appropriate for the instruction of practicing radiologists, residents in training, primary care physicians with an interest in interventional radiologic procedures, and advanced medical students.
