How do you prevent turning a stuck biopsy needle into a real complication?

Dr. Junjian Huang (@junjian_huang) and Dr. Majid Khan (@MajidKhan_spine) join Dr. Neil Jain (@DigitalAngio) for their most useful technical tips in bone biopsy. They discuss curved stylets that bend and lodge, who to call, and the single rule that keeps an access cannula intact.

The government gets eleven or twelve dollars back for every dollar it spends on healthcare fraud enforcement. Audits are good business. ⚖

When does it make sense to treat during a bone biopsy?

Dr. Junjian Huang (@junjian_huang) and Dr. Majid Khan (@MajidKhan_spine) tell Dr. Neil Jain (@DigitalAngio) why communication with referrers, patient context, and confidence in your diagnosis all shape the decision to combine procedures.

How do you get a sample from even the toughest bone lesions?

Dr. Peter Thurlow and Dr. Neil Jain (@DigitalAngio) explain why CT is their go-to, when ultrasound can work, and how needle trajectory software and 3D reconstructions make tough access safer and more precise.

How do plugs compare to coils and liquids for targeted vessel closure?

Dr. Harris Chengazi (@ChengaziMD) and Dr. Sabeen Dhand (@SDhandMD) reveal when plugs offer a smoother, more controlled option, and why smart sizing and deployment techniques can make all the difference in modern embolization.

The key to personalizing Y90 may not just be treating the tumor, but understanding how much radiation a patient can tolerate, where to deliver it, and when to safely push the dose.

In this episode of the BackTable Podcast, Drs. @bayouteazy and Ryan Hickey join host Dr. @kavikrishVIR to explore strategies for using Y90 in hepatocellular carcinoma and liver metastases. They combine real-world data from a study of nearly 1,000 patients with insights into methodology and the many variables that influence these procedures.

The BackTable team wrapped up their fantasy draft this weekend and now we're all looking forward to NFL kick-off. That said, who's your team?

Our Embolics Creator Weekend contributors got real about their teams: Ohio State pride, LSU, a dash of LeBron for the non-football fans, and some very loyal (very tortured) Jets & Giants fans.

A candid conversation about IR attrition, why residents are questioning the specialty, and most importantly, what we can do about it. Proud to host this one with @drmittelstein on BackTable🎙️

@theAPDIR @theAPDR @SIRspecialists @SIR_ECS @SIRRFS @Georgetown_IR

[BackTable Vascular and Interventional @_backtable]

Why do nearly half of IR residents consider leaving the specialty, and what can be done to change that? 🤔

In this episode of the Backtable podcast, host Dr. Neil Jain (@DigitalAngio) interviews UCSD integrated IR resident Dr. David Mittelstein (@drmittelstein) about a national SIR survey on integrated interventional radiology (IR) attrition. Dr. Mittelstein discusses that pre-residency factors (demographics, prelim year type, prior specialty considerations) were not associated with questioning IR; instead, perceived value mattered more than quantity, including clinic value and junior-year IR experiences.
