Radioembolization of liver tumours, Utrecht/NL, May 23-24, 2024
Radioembolization is increasingly performed throughout Europe. The way radioembolization is performed is continuously evolving, pushed by technical innovations, the current availability of three different types of microspheres and increasing insight into the need for patient-specific dosimetry.
In this ESIR course, “Radioembolization of liver tumours”, organized by Dr. Maarten Smits, Dr. Arthur Braat and Prof. Marnix Lam, attendees will learn about the fundamentals, latest evidence and techniques for performing radioembolization. Participants will be able to get hands-on experience with a wide range of products used for radioembolization, and there will be plenty of opportunities for networking and time to explore the city of Utrecht with its historic canals.
Who should attend?
Organized and led by renowned experts, this ESIR course gives both experienced and starting physicians the opportunity to increase their practical skills, become familiar with a range of techniques and products available for radioembolization, and learn more about the latest developments in the field.
A large part of the course will be devoted to hands-on experience with various devices and software available for radioembolization. Topics for hands-on workshops are performing dosimetry, handling of the administration systems for the three types of microspheres, working with innovative catheter-designs and imaging techniques.
