History
The meeting is organized by the Society of Interventional Radiology (SIR). SIR was founded in 1973 as the Society of Cardiovascular Radiology by an active group in the field who wanted to further develop interventional aspects of radiology. It changed its name to the Society of CardioVascular and Interventional Radiology in 1983, and in April 2002 the name was changed to Society of Interventional Radiology to emphasize the expanding role of interventional radiology beyond the cardiovascular system.
The society has grown substantially over the decades. It comprises about 8,000 members, including practicing physicians, trainees, scientists and clinical associates such as physician assistants, nurse practitioners, radiologic technologists and paramedical professionals. The 2027 gathering is the 52nd edition of its Annual Scientific Meeting, which rotates among major U.S. convention cities each year.
