EUROPEAN FORUM FOR EDUCATION AND RESEARCH OF MUSCULOSKELETAL RADIOLOGY


MISSION AND VISION

The Interventions Subcommittee of the ESSR was founded in 2014 during the annual meeting held in Riga. The vision and purpose of the subcommittee is to promote educational projects as well as to encourage research and innovation focused upon musculoskeletal interventions. This involves effort to promote performance and standardization of musculoskeletal interventions through provision of standards of excellence in education and training.Minimally invasive imaging-guided interventions include a wide array of diagnostic and therapeutic techniques ranging from infiltrations and injections to biopsy, embolization, ablation and augmentation both in the spine and peripheral skeleton.

Subcommittee – Imaging Guided Intervention

These interventional techniques have specific indications, require specific training and need particular safety measurements and information to the patient with an adjusted informed consent.

Discussion of guidelines and precautions regarding the indications and contra-indications, possible complications and after care is important. Evaluation of the evidence and scientific merits of therapeutic interventions as well as networking and promotion of research will be included in the subsection activities. It is within the intentions of the Interventions subcommittee to address these specific topics and to strive for and exchange conventions of good practice.

Within the next years all necessary actions must be taken in order to maintain the solid basis of our sub-specialty and to create the space necessary for musculoskeletal interventions to further flourish. Hopefully through our common contributions we will be able to further expand and fulfill the existing projects.

PROJECTS

Up until today and thanks to the work provided by all the members of the subcommittee many projects have been completed on the field of MSK IR including publication of a book upon intra- and extra-articular musculoskeletal interventions as well as a series of papers upon clinical indications for image-guided interventional procedures in the upper and lower extremity.
Our next goal focuses upon publication of a similar series of papers upon clinical indications for image-guided interventional procedures in the spine as well as joining the organization of hands-on cadaveric course for MSK IR and the joint ESSR-ESNR Spine course
