“In a field like interventional radiology, innovative new devices and procedures are created with regularity. But with so many new approaches being developed every year, how do interventional radiologists best assess these innovations for adoption? IRs must perform a balancing act when considering which devices and treatments to adopt, guided by information, experience and the needs of the patient."In the audio version of "Staying power: The tangled path from innovation to clinical application"  (IR Quarterly: Spring 2019), author Jennifer J. Salopek speaks with interventional radiologists and others about what interventional radiologists must consider when deciding to adopt a new treatment or device.Read the article.Contact us with your ideas and questions, or read more about about interventional radiology in IR Quarterly magazine or SIR's Patient Center.(c) Society of Interventional Radiology.

“After college, there’s medical school. And after medical school comes additional training with a residency and (for now) fellowship—but not all IRs stop there. In fact, many have discovered the benefits that additional advanced degrees can afford their careers."In the audio version of "Degrees of Separation: The role of interventional radiology on the trauma team"  (IR Quarterly: Spring 2018), author Melanie Padget Powers speaks with interventional radiologists about why those chose to pursue additional advanced academic degrees, how those degrees opened doors for their careers, and what they wish they had done differently.Read the article.Contact us with your ideas and questions, or read more about about interventional radiology in IR Quarterly magazine or SIR's Patient Center.(c) Society of Interventional Radiology.

“I don't personally love going too far down the roots of any subspecialty, because then you lose the forest for the trees. And I think ultimately, the more holistic you can be, the better off the patient will be. So if you come in for one problem, you should be able to assess the other problems.” —Geogy Vatakencherry, MD, FSIRHost Warren Krackov, MD, FSIR, speaks with interventional radiologist Geogy Vatakencherry, MD, FSIR, about his clinical interests, the evolution of the specialty and clinical opportunities for IRs-in-training, and more. Note: This episode was recorded on  Aug. 12, 2022.Contact us with your ideas and questions, or read more about about interventional radiology in IR Quarterly magazine or SIR's Patient Center.(c) Society of Interventional Radiology.

“So in general, an office-based lab might be more easy to stand up. There might be less cost associated with an OBL and fewer hurdles from the regulatory standpoint for a physician to jump over.” —Joel R. Rainwater, MDHost Roger T. Tomihama, MD, speaks with interventional radiologist Joel R. Rainwater, MD, about his experience building a network of 12 office-based labs (OBLs) in 5 states, what interventional radiologists should keep in mind when considering the OBL business model, opportunities for IRs-in-training, and more. Note: This episode was recorded on  Aug. 27, 2022.Contact us with your ideas and questions, or read more about about interventional radiology in IR Quarterly magazine or SIR's Patient Center.(c) Society of Interventional Radiology.

“I went to my Legislative Council and said, ‘Listen, I need to make an adjustment to the original bill. I think it’s important that, if we’re going to take this step to provide women with an opportunity to look at choices that would be best for her, and for her quality of life, that this be included as well.’” —Rhode Island State Rep. Camille Vella-WilkinsonIn July 2022, Rhode Island passed into law a bill directing insurance companies to pay for uterine artery embolization (UAE) in the treatment of fibroids. In this episode of the Kinked Wire, host Warren Krackov, MD, FSIR, speaks with Rhode Island State Rep. Camille Vella-Wilkinson about why she worked to add UAE to the bill, why the topic is so important, and how she learned about interventional radiology in the first place.The Society of Interventional Radiology thanks SIR members Theresa M. Caridi, MD, FSIR, and John C.
