🔬 AIMCRad proudly presents MetaRad, a two-phase research project designed to equip AIMC students with practical research skills—culminating in the opportunity to author a full-fledged meta-analysis paper under expert guidance.

🔹 Phase 1 – Introductory Workshop

đź“… June 14th, 2025 | đź•— 8 PM PST | đź“Ť Live on Zoom

A beginner-friendly session covering:

1. The importance of medical research

2. Meta-analysis fundamentals & research design

3. How to formulate a PICO-based question

4. Literature search + Topic Selection

💡 Bonus: Learn to craft powerful search strings—skills valuable whether or not you're selected for Phase 2!

🔹 Phase 2 – Meta-Analysis Teams.
Applicants selected (via CV submission) will join focused research teams led by AIMCRad mentors. You'll move step-by-step from topic selection to manuscript drafting—with full guidance at every stage.

🎓 Exclusively for AIMC students.

High-precision. High-impact.
SBRT (Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy) delivers ablative radiation doses with sub-millimeter accuracy—targeting tumors while sparing healthy tissue. It is surely a game-changer in treating early-stage cancers and oligometastatic disease through advanced imaging, immobilization and steep dose gradients.

Interventional Oncology is a cutting-edge subspecialty that uses image-guided, minimally invasive procedures to diagnose and treat cancers. From tumor ablation to targeted therapies like TACE and TARE, it offers precise, organ-sparing alternatives to surgery with reduced recovery times and improved patient outcomes.

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) utilizes high-frequency alternating current to generate thermal energy, inducing coagulative necrosis of targeted tissue through localized heating (typically 60–100°C). It is commonly used in tumor ablation, particularly for hepatic, renal, and pulmonary neoplasms.

Cryoablation, in contrast, employs argon or nitrogen-based cryoprobes to achieve rapid freezing (as low as -40°C), forming intracellular ice crystals that disrupt cellular membranes and induce apoptosis and ischemic necrosis upon thawing. It is favored for precision ablation in tissues near critical structures due to its ice-ball visualization on imaging.

TACE & TARE are innovative treatments for hepatic carcinoma!

Both are minimally invasive procedures done by interventional radiologists — here’s how they differ:

TACE (Transarterial Chemoembolization) delivers chemotherapy directly to the liver tumor and blocks its blood supply.

TARE (Transarterial Radioembolization) transmits tiny radioactive beads to the tumor site, delivering targeted radiation with minimal damage to healthy tissue.

Smart, targeted, and effective — that’s the power of precision medicine in IR!

AIMCRad is excited to announce our upcoming webinar, "Interventional Radiology, An Introduction to the Field of Minimally Invasive Procedures"!!

The webinar features radiology residents at the top U.S. programs: Dr. Aliza Mushtaq MD, Dr. Usman Shami MD, and Dr. Haseeb Mukhtar MD.

The webinar will showcase real-world insights and case-based discussions across a wide range of IR procedures such as: Y-90 radioembolizations, Transplant interventions, Limb revascularization (PTA, stenting, DVA), Renal artery stenting, AVF revisions, various Arterial Embolizations, Pulmonary AVM embolization, Tumor Ablation techniques, Central/PICC line placements, and more!

Date: April 19th, 2025
Time: 8:00 PM Pakistan Time (PKT)
Platform: Live on Zoom

Registrations are open to all medical students, residents and healthcare professionals aspiring to establish their careers in interventional radiology. Upon successfully completing the registration form below, you will receive the Zoom link separately.
