■ Describe the indications for imageguided preoperative localization of a pulmonary nodule. ■ Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of different image-guided preoperative nodule localization techniques. ■ Identify the principles of the different techniques for image-guided preoperative nodule localization.
62% did not have their own IRIG interest group, 57% did not have faculty listed in the SIR directory, and 74% did not have an integrated IR residency. Total attendance included 48 distinct institutions viewing 5 different countries, including 3 DO programs (6%). Of the total attendant institutions, 46% did not have their own IRIG interest group, 64% did not have faculty listed in the SIR directory, and 74% did not have an integrated IR residency. An average of 65 registrants were captured for the weekly courses (range, 8846). A weekly average of 39 male (65%) and 20 female (35%) students registered. Registrants included first (26%), second (36%), third (27%), and fourth (12%) year medical students. Additional registrants included radiology technologist and nursing students, as well as administrative staff. Weekly webinars averaged 30 attendants (range, 5610), with an average of 17 male (65%) and 20 female (35%) students. Conclusions: A webinar-based elective may serve as an effective method for increasing exposure to IR, especially for medical students at institutions without robust IR exposure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
