- Describe the principles and techniques of key IR procedures such as stenting, coil embolization, and prostatic artery embolization.
- Interpret imaging modalities (fluoroscopy, digital subtraction angiography, CT) used in diagnosis, procedural guidance, and outcome assessment in veterinary IR.
- Evaluate clinical outcomes and case examples to recognize patient selection criteria, procedural safety considerations, and long-term prognoses for minimally invasive interventions.
