The free event was held on Saturday, September 21, and offered an overview of the imaging, anatomy, pathology and treatments pertinent to Interventional Radiology (IR). Faculty and trainees from the Division of Vascular and Interventional Radiology gave talks and led activities about the minimally-invasive, image-guided procedures used in the field of IR.

The symposium included didactic lectures, case reviews, hands-on activities, and even a game of “IR Jeopardy,” complete with prizes.
