SIR 50th Anniversary
Fighting for value
For over 4 decades, interventional radiologists, in conjunction with the Society of Interventional Radiology, have been creating, editing, campaigning and supporting new and evolving billing codes that reflect the full gamut of IR therapies.
The next IR frontier
IRs have an opportunity to fill an as-yet unmet need: providing care to rural, small and medically underserved areas. By utilizing new practice paradigms and technologies, IRs may be able to bring life-saving care to whole new populations.
The cycle of support
For over a decade, the relationship between JVIR and SIR Foundation has yielded landmark studies, rewarded those at the leading edge of research, and continually pushed the needle on IR innovation, both clinical and cultural.
IR evolutions
As SIR celebrates 50 years of innovation, former SIR presidents reflect on the clinical evolutions they’ve seen over their careers—from steaming guidewires to the birth of subspecialties.
Outpatient IR
More and more IRs have embraced clinician identities, increasing their focus on longitudinal patient management, building patient relationships and caring for patients.
Generation Z
The oldest Gen Zers will turn 28 in 2025: This means that about half of residents and all traditional-age medical students are part of this generation. How will they change the face of IR?
PACking a punch
For 20 years, SIRPAC—the only political action committee fully dedicated to interventional radiology—has been making connections and ensuring IR’s seat at the political table.
SIR’s greatest hits
This article is the first in a series celebrating the most popular resources SIR makes available to the interventional radiology community, in the words of our members.
