Overview
The Northwestern University Ultrasound-Guided Synovial Biopsy Training Program is a one-day course intended for rheumatologists and others who have prior training in musculoskeletal procedures such as joint injections. The purpose of the course is to provide familiarization with and basic instruction in the procedures necessary to obtain synovial tissue from inflamed joints (specifically the knee and the wrist, though the techniques can be applied to other joints as well) for the purposes of conducting research initiatives and establishing or contributing to biobanks of synovial tissue.

Objectives
  1. Recognize the need for minimally-invasive ultrasound-guided synovial biopsy as a method of obtaining fresh human synovial tissue for research purposes.
  2. Discuss the IRB approval process, the inclusion and exclusion criteria for the procedure, the consent process, and recruitment techniques.
  3. Compare and contrast the guillotine needle (True-Cut, Quick-Core) method vs the portal and forceps method for minimally-invasive ultrasound-guided synovial biopsy.
  4. Recognize the necessary equipment and facilities for each procedure method and know how to obtain them.
  5. Practice both the guillotine needle (True-Cut, Quick-Core) method and the portal and forceps method for minimally-invasive ultrasound-guided synovial biopsy on cadaveric human specimens in order to acquire the necessary procedural skill.
