Basic and Advanced Neuroendovascular ANAtomy Course: BANANA Course

This conference has been CANCELLED.

Basic and Advanced Neuroendovascular ANAtomy Course: BANANA Course is organized by NYU Grossman School of Medicine and will be held from Nov 02 - 04, 2020 at Alumni Hall, New York City, New York, United States of America.

Target Audience:
Neurovascular fellows and junior attendings from radiology, neurology, neurosurgery, cardiology, and vascular surgery), as well as CT technologists, radiology nurses, and advance practice providers.

Course Description:
Join us in November 2020 for the second Basic and Advanced Neurovascular ANAtomy (BANANA) three-day course. Continued advances in minimally invasive neuroendovascular techniques such as treatment of stroke, cerebral aneurysms, brain and spine fistulas, arteriovenous malformations, tumors, and other pathology place increasing emphasis on the availability of basic and advanced vascular anatomy training for all members of the neurovascular team. This year the course will feature full all-day basic and advanced neurovascular anatomy tracks. Participants who register for the overall course can attend either basic or advanced lectures and workshops as per their preference. Multimodality instruction will include angiography (including volumetric and stereoscopic imaging), MR, CT, graphic design, and virtual reality material. A mixture of lectures, interactive workshops, and online material, delivered by world-class neurovascular anatomy faculty, will be directed towards the goal of maximizing accurate diagnostic and successful procedural outcomes through knowledge of essential clinically-relevant anatomy.

Educational Objectives:
After participating in this activity, clinicians should be able to:
• Define major features of spinal arterial and venous anatomy and identify vascular pathoanatomy of spinal dural fistula
• Identify intracranial and extracranial arterial vascular disease and identify major arterial variants and  their significance in performance of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures
• Identify intracranial and extracranial venous abnormalities and their significance in performance of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures
