Hands-on workshop

An intensive, hands-on workshop dedicated to physicians looking to develop and refine their skills in performing image-guided interventional procedures.

During the workshop, participants will have the opportunity to:

• Learn ultrasound- (USS) and fluoroscopy-guided nerve block techniques, under the guidance of experienced specialists in the field.
• Recognize and identify relevant anatomical landmarks for each procedure.
• Practice probe positioning, target structure identification, and needle trajectory during ultrasound-guided procedures.
• Understand and apply fluoroscopic landmarks and approach techniques for interventional procedures.
• Benefit from a predominantly hands-onexperience, with an emphasis on practical application and the development of technical skills.
• Discuss the indications, patient selection, safety considerations, and key practical aspects of each procedure.
• Learn directly from specialists and benefit from individual feedback and tips & tricks based on clinical experience.
