Radiology Update – 2025: Ultrasound Guided Percutaneous Drainage Procedures
Held on November 16, 2025, “Radiology Update – 2025” was an intensive hands-on cadaveric workshop dedicated to mastering Ultrasound-Guided Percutaneous Drainage Procedures. Jointly organized by the Department of Radiology and the Department of Anatomy, this CME-accredited workshop brought together interventional radiologists and clinical anatomists to refine real-time percutaneous interventions on high-fidelity cadaveric models.
The workshop enrolled 15 clinical faculty delegates, providing dedicated sonography workstation access, high-resolution ultrasound consoles, specialized drainage hardware, and personalized 1:1 proctoring from senior interventional radiologists.
Key Workshop Highlights & Objectives
Faculty delegates practiced real-time transducer manipulation, acoustic window selection, needle-beam alignment, Seldinger wire exchange techniques, and trocar catheter deployment across thoracic, abdominal, and retroperitoneal fluid compartments.
The single-day program delivered an optimal balance between didactic interventional principles, live machine setup demonstrations, and comprehensive wet-lab station simulations.
Procedural Breakdown & Station Curriculum
Session 1: Thoracic & Pleural Access | Session 2: Abdominal & Hepatic Collections | Session 3: Deep Pelvic & RetroperitonealIntercostal vascular mapping & rib clearance | Liver abscess / subphrenic space simulation | Retroperitoneal space & iliopsoas drainage
Thoracocentesis & pigtail chest drain insertion | Seldinger vs. Trocar catheter placement | Catheter fixation, flushing & patency maintenance
Pleural effusion aspiration under real-time USG | Guidewire negotiation & fascial serial dilation | Managing obstructed drains & kinking
Core Interventional Modules
Delegates executed ultrasound-guided needle trajectories and catheter placements under direct guidance from senior interventional radiologists:
Tailored for clinical faculty members and senior practitioners aiming to enhance interventional radiology skills in emergency and elective drainage procedures. All participants underwent safety briefings on sterile field preservation during probe manipulation, acoustic gel handling, and wire exchange protocols.
