CIRSE 2015

CIRSE: Innovation, Education & Intervention

CIRSE places great emphasis on investing in high-quality educational and scientific programmes that offer true value to participants. The outstanding reviews of CIRSE 2014 underscore the wisdom and success of that approach. The numbers speak volumes. Over 91% of delegates indicated that the sessions on offer fully met their specified learning objectives – the highest rate ever achieved.

Introducing young practitioners to interventional radiology and encouraging them to hone their skills in the subspecialty is another major priority. The Fundamental Courses, which are targeted primarily at radiologists-in-training and new consultants, are clearly achieving that goal. Over 97% of delegates indicated that they learned from these sessions, and 95% deemed the information presented relevant to their practice needs.

Programme Highlights

Catering to diverse interests, the multi-faceted programme includes the ever-popular Fundamental Courses as well as highly specialised features; hands-on workshops on various IR techniques for both beginners and advanced practitioners; intriguing case discussions; and engaging debates on the field’s most controversial topics.


The four-and-a-half-day programme will be split into the following six tracks, allowing delegates to easily select the sessions most relevant to their practice:

  • Vascular Interventions
  • Transcatheter Embolisation
  • Interventional Oncology
  • Non-Vascular Interventions
  • Neurointerventions
  • IR Management

The CIRSE meets… programme has proved to be an important platform for establishing and strengthening the relations between CIRSE and its distinguished Group Members – the national societies in the field of interventional radiology. Experts from various regions around the world have provided interesting insights into the current status of interventional radiology as well as the state of specific procedures and conditions in their home countries.
