Intra-Abdominal Site Biopsy

Join Dr. Mikhail Higgins (Boston University) as he provides a review of intra-abdominal biopsies, including an overview of anatomic structures, selection of imaging modality (CT, Ultrasound, or MRI), as well as pearls/pitfalls of procedures, techniques, and complications in this setting. 

Learn about the clinical radiologic workup & diagnostic imaging of retroperitoneal and intraperitoneal lesions at the biopsy site, and gain an understanding of important procedural and periprocedural considerations in intra-abdominal biopsies. Dr. Higgins also provides helpful breakdowns of differential diagnoses of conditions affecting intra-abdominal biopsy sites, as well as diagnostic reasoning & potential complications to consider during these procedures. 

This course will prepare you to confidently understand optimal imaging modalities for guidance (CT vs US), different techniques, equipment, and preparation for intra-abdominal biopsies through case reviews of:

• Ovarian neoplasm
• Parasitic leiomyoma 
• Retroperitoneal lesion
• Hyperparathyroidism 
• …and more!

After you’re done, check out these additional Interventional Mastery Courses for further in-depth case review:

• Fundamentals of IR Biopsy
• Bone Biopsy
• Lung Biopsy
• Image-Guided Abscess Drainage
