The Dr. Charles T. Dotter Lecture was initiated in 1984 as an annual invited lecture to honor Dr. Dotter as one of the founding fathers of interventional radiology. The award provides a forum for the recipient to deliver the special Dr. Charles T. Dotter Lecture during the SIR Annual Scientific Meeting. Recipients are chosen by the sitting SIR president, and their lecture is published in the Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology.
