Abstract:
OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study is to describe the use of a novel, cost-effective, gelatin ex vivo porcine kidney model for renal interventions performed using ultrasound guidance. CONCLUSION. Percutaneous ultrasound-guided renal interventions are common procedures in radiology. Use of models helps trainees develop the hand-eye coordination needed to successfully perform interventional techniques. The gelatin ex vivo porcine kidney model can be used to educate trainees in proper technique before they perform such procedures on actual patients.
