Clinical benefits of the i2 system The i2 system provides real-time dose measurement and visualization. The dose information is sent wirelessly to the base station. Comparison of fundamental performance among several occupational real-time dosimeters(i2 system, pocket dosimeter, etc.) SUMMARY: Real-time monitoring of the radiation doses received by IR staff has become highly desirable. However, occupational doses are rarely measured in real time, due to the lack of a feasible method for use in IR. In general, the i2 system exhibited excellent performance. In occupational dose measurements, the fundamental performance of the i2 system was equivalent to those of other occupational dosimeters. Furthermore, the i2 system demonstrated real-time visualization of the dose rate, which other occupational dosimeters cannot provide.

Intranodal lymphangiography is technically feasible. An inguinal node was directly accessed under ultrasound guidance using a needle followed by lipiodol injection. Intrahepatic lymphangiography is the only method, which could visualize lymphorrhea from hepatic lymphatics. We puncture the liver close to the right portal vein using a needle under ultrasound guidance . We withdraw the chiba needle slowly while injecting small volumes of Urografin until hepatic lymphatic channels are opacified. This usually needs multiple-puncture of the liver.How to access thoracic duct Access from the cistern chyli : Following lymphangiography, the cistern chyli/thoracic duct is punctured under fluoroscopic or CT guidance. A guidewire was inserted into the thoracic duct, then 2.0-Fr micro catheter was advanced over the wire. Access from venous angle : 4-Fr sheath is inserted from left cephalic vein. A 4-Fr catheter is advance near the venous angle and cannulated the lymphatic vessel flowing into the subclavian vein. Then, microcatheter is advanced into the thoracic duct coaxially. TABLE OF CONTENTS/OUTLINE Target of lymphatic intervention Management of lymphorrhea Procedure details Embolization and Sclerotherapy VI011-EB-X Not all Colic is Calculi: Ureteric Obstruction from Mycotic Aneurysm All Day Location: VI Community, Learning Center Participants Anthony M.

Renal colic is a common presenting complaint, but in this case occurring secondary to a rare pathology- mycotic aneurysm.2. The case considers the complex challenges faced when treating multiple mycotic aneurysms, including the role of diagnostic/interventional radiology. TABLE OF CONTENTS/OUTLINE 1. Presentation of mycotic aneurysm as renal colic on imaging. No previously described cases of common iliac mycotic aneurysm, presenting as renal colic, were found in the literature. The patient presented as left renal colic with blood in the urine, a 6 month history of arthralgia, visual disturbances and low grade pyrexia and a background of blood culture positive bacteraemia post bilateral breast augmentation. 2. Imaging review in advanced bacterial endocarditis causing mycotic aneurysms. 3. Management of mulitple mycotic aneuryms, including images from interventional procedures. A high index of suspicion is essential for the diagnosis of this rare condition, since septic emboli cause devastating sequelae and all untreated infected aneurysms eventually rupture. Furthermore, although aneurysmectomy and antibiotics is the treatment of choice, complicating factors prohibited this gold standard and necessitated immediate aneurysm exclusion by endovascular treatment. VI012-EB-X Preparing for Call by IR Residents: Perspectives from a Large Urban Academic Medical Center All Day Location: VI Community, Learning Center Participants Stephen Fisher, MD, Dallas, TX (Presenter) Nothing to Disclose Stephen P.

Anderson, MD, Dallas, TX (Abstract Co-Author) Nothing to Disclose Sanjeeva P. Kalva, MD, Dallas, TX (Abstract Co-Author) Consultant, CeloNova BioSciences, Inc TEACHING POINTS 1. Potential structures of call coverage over a 5 year IR residency. Benefits and drawbacks of each.2. Understand barriers to establish a separate interventional radiology call pool.3. Discuss unique challenges to resident preparation for IR call in the upcoming residency programs.4. Familiarize with possible methods to prepare IR residents for independent diagnostic and interventional call. TABLE OF CONTENTS/OUTLINE 1. Review a 5 year plan for IR resident call coverage.2. Review potential didactic and case based IR pre-call curriculum to administer during the PGY4 year prior to beginning IR call during the PGY5 year.3. IR residents will naturally desire early, advanced procedural training, but development of clinical patient management skills should be a priority during the first dedicated IR year, PGY5. Explore how to best layer skill sets throughout earlier DR and IR rotations to best prepare residents for call.4. An ICU month is required in the new structure, so the optimal timing of this experience will be discussed. A logical place in the curriculum is early during the PGY5 year to facilitate higher level clinical education during the first dedicated year of IR training.

Funari, MD, Ribeirao Pires, Brazil (Abstract Co-Author) Nothing to Disclose TEACHING POINTS Diagnosis of changes in visceral andominal arteries (VAA) is unusual, but has become more common due to the increased number of performing exams and ultrasound plays an important role. Aneurysms are more common in splenic artery, which affects more middle- aged women, most isolated and asymptomatic, with risk of rupture when greater than 2 cm, and hepatic, which may have atherosclerotic or fungal origin, with no gender preference and about 80% extrahepatic, and up to 1/3 present epigastric pain, hemobilia and obstructive jaundice triad. The spontaneous dissection of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) affects more middle- aged men and can occur isolated or associated with aortic dissection. The most common symptom is vague abdominal pain. Renal artery stenosis is the most common cause of secondary hypertension, caused by atherosclerosis with a location proximal to the ostium in middle-aged patients, or fibromuscular dysplasia affecting the middle or distal third in young patient. The proper recognition of major changes in VAA allows the early diagnosis and appropriate treatment, which are fundamental in the setting of a higher number of tests ordered by other causes even non-vascular.
