Society of Interventional Radiology
Society of Interventional RadiologyAbout SIRThe Society was founded in 1973 and formally organized in 1974 as the Society of Cardiovascular Radiology by an active group in the field who wanted to further develop interventional aspects of radiology. The first formal business meeting was held in Key Largo, Fla., in 1975, and the Society offered its first annual postgraduate educational course in 1976 with 177 attendees.In April 2002, the name was changed to Society of Interventional Radiology (SIR), which reflects the ever-expanding role of interventional radiology - a specialty that is no longer limited to the cardiovascular system in terms of how targeted treatments are performed.Today, SIR continues to maintain steady membership growth with nearly 4,500 members. They primarily consist of physicians, but also include an increasing number of allied health professionals who work in IR settings, such as technologists, nurses, nurse practitioners and physician assistants.
