SIR 32st Annual Scientific Meeting
- March 1-6, 2007 — Seattle, Washington,
USA
Just as each new wave redefines the shape and look of the beach, interventional
radiology’s constant growth and innovation redefines modern health care.
We've jettisoned invasive surgical traditions and replaced them with image
guided, targeted treatments that improve outcome, shorten recovery, reduce
complications and open wholly new methods of diagnosis and treatment. This
endless cyclical innovation is what keeps interventional radiology exciting
and at the vanguard of medicine. This year's Annual Scientific Meeting of
the Society of Interventional Radiology takes place nearly one month
earlier than in years past, but the abstract submission
deadline remains similar, landing on October 3, 2006. Key Symposia topics
for 2007 SIR include: Coronary and Cardiac Imaging, Oncology, M&M Case
and Risk Management and Cosmetic IR.
