The new scenarios in current Radiology push us to propose new specialization programs that meet the real needs of experienced professionals, so that they can incorporate the advances in Image Guided Medical Intervention"

Medical radiology is of crucial importance in the patient's diagnostic process, but it is increasingly acquiring a leading role in therapeutic interventions that until now have been performed in the dark or by approaching the patient in a much more aggressive way. The latest technological advances that are taking place allow the use of new image-guided systems such as multimodality fusion or the implementation of new therapeutic strategies, such as the administration of drug-loaded particles or oncolytic virus therapy.

This program includes some of the most important areas of interventional radiology, including basic aspects of clinical practice such as management or implementation of the consultation. It addresses processes and areas of knowledge where Image Guided Therapy plays a fundamental role such as neurology, thorax or musculoskeletal. It also includes the main emerging therapies in different areas and the future lines of Image Guided Therapy.

A complete and modern updating program, based on the latest advances in interventional radiology, developed through the latest educational technology, to update the professional and improve patient care. 

You will be able to learn, through the latest educational technology, the latest advances in image-guided techniques"

This postgraduate diploma in Image-Guided Medical Intervention contains the most complete and up-to-date scientific program on the market. The most important features include:

• Clinical cases presented by specialists in Radiology and other specialties 
• The graphic, schematic, and practical contents with which they are created, provide scientific and health care training on those medical disciplines that are essential to professional practice
• Real high-resolution images of pathologies, diagnostic imaging tests and guided procedures
• Presentation of practical workshops on procedures and techniques
• An algorithm-based interactive learning system for decision-making in the clinical situations presented throughout the course
• Action protocols with the most important advances in the specialty 
• All of this will be complemented by theoretical lessons, questions to the expert, debate forums on controversial topics, and individual reflection assignments
• With a special emphasis on evidence-based medicine and research methodologies in Radiology
• Content that is accessible from any fixed or portable device with an Internet connection

This postgraduate diploma is the best investment you can make when selecting a refresher program, for two reasons: in addition to updating your knowledge in Image-Guided Medical Intervention you will obtain a qualification from TECH Technological University"

The teaching staff includes a team of leading Radiologists who bring their professional experience to this program, in addition to renowned specialists in other medical areas.

The multimedia content developed with the latest educational technology will provide the physician with situated and contextual learning, i.e., a simulated environment that will provide immersive training programmed to train in real situations.

This program is focused on Problem-Based Learning, whereby the Students must try to solve the different professional practice situations that arise during this training. This will be done with the help of an innovative interactive video system created by renowned experts in the field of Radiology with extensive teaching experience.

Incorporate the latest developments in Image-Guided Medical Intervention to your medical practice and improve patient prognosis"

It includes clinical cases and real images in high definition to bring clinical practice as close as possible to the development of the program"

The main objective is to facilitate the incorporation of advances in anesthesia in critical patients, so that specialists can update their knowledge in a practical way, using the latest educational technology and adapting the educational process to their real needs.

This refresher program will generate a sense of confidence in decision making during image-guided interventions, and help you grow professionally”
