Society, SIR Foundation present awards; lecture honor given to Matthew A. Mauro, M.D., FSIR, for extraordinary contributions to interventional radiology
Matthew A. Mauro, M.D., FSIR, delivered the 2009 Dr. Charles T. Dotter Lecture at the Society of Interventional Radiology's 34th Annual Scientific Meeting last week in San Diego, Calif. This award, supported by the SIR Foundation, honors an interventional radiologist's extraordinary contributions to the field, dedicated service to SIR and distinguished career achievements in interventional radiology.
Mauro, who addressed "The Birth of a Specialty," is the Ernest H. Wood Distinguished Professor of Radiology and Surgery and chair of the radiology department at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine. He was selected the recipient of the 25th annual Dotter lecture by 2008 SIR President John Kaufman, M.D., FSIR. This lecture award honors one of the founding fathers of interventional radiology, Dr. Charles T. Dotter.
At UNC, Mauro's special interests include interventional oncology, uterine artery embolization, the management of vascular malformations, angioplasty and stenting, biliary drainage procedures, embolization and stent grafts. He also supervises the resident rotation in vascular/interventional radiology; his involvement with the residency program includes lectures and one-on-one contact with the residents.
Mauro is a long-time SIR member; he served as president of the society from 1999 to 2000 and was chair of the SIR Foundation from 2002 He has actively participated in a variety of roles on the Executive Committee throughout his membership and on the Scientific Program Committee since 2000. He is chair of the American College of Radiology's Committee on Interventional Radiology and a member of its Board of Chancellors. He is a trustee of the American Board of Radiology.
A member and fellow of numerous radiological societies, Mauro has published more than 120 peer-reviewed articles and 30 book chapters and has served as a visiting professor/lecturer more than 200 times. His most recent work, the textbook "Image Guided Interventions," was published in 2008. The 2008 SIR president indicated that Mauro "has been—and continues to be—one of the most influential leaders in interventional radiology and radiology. I can think of no one more deserving of this honor."
2009 SIR Gold Medal Recipients
In addition, three individuals—Andreas Adam, MB, BS, FRCR, FSIR; Vincent P. Chuang, M.D., FSIR; and Thomas A. Sos, M.D., FSIR—were each awarded the society's Gold Medal, an honor that is given to those who have helped ensure the future of interventional radiology by advancing the quality of medicine and patient care.
2009 Leaders in Innovation Award:
Sidney Wallace, M.D., FSIR, who had served as a professor of radiology; chairman, Department of Diagnostic Radiology; head, Division of Diagnostic Imaging and deputy division head for research, Division of Diagnostic Imaging, at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston before retiring in 1996, was awarded the 2009 Leaders in Innovation Award by the SIR Foundation. This award acknowledges those individuals who have conceptualized and implemented an idea that has had an advantageous impact on the practice of interventional radiology.
Dr. Gary J. Becker Young Investigator Award:
The SIR Foundation announced Filip Banovac, M.D., of Georgetown University Hospital in Washington, D.C., as the recipient of the 2009 Dr. Gary J. Becker Young Investigator Award. This award promotes excellence in academic research for members early in their careers and honors the founding editor of the Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology by recognizing the importance of the young investigator in developing interventional solutions for the future.
Banovac's manuscript, "Radiofrequency Ablation of Lung Tumors in Swine Assisted by a Navigation Device With Preprocedural Volumetric Planning," was chosen as the best fit model of promoting academic research among young interventional radiologists.
