2023 Turkish Interventional Radiology Congress, one of the most important medical events organized by the Turkish Society of Interventional Radiology (TSIR). Interventional radiology (IR) is a rapidly growing medical specialty that uses minimally invasive image-guided procedures to diagnose and treat diseases across multiple systems of the body. This congress aims to bring together professionals from the field to share knowledge, discuss innovations, and present the latest research findings in the field of IR. This annual gathering also serves as a platform for networking and collaboration between practitioners and industry stakeholders. Visit girisimselradyoloji2023.org.
Overview of Interventional Radiology
Interventional radiology, as a medical specialty, combines the expertise of radiology with the skills of minimally invasive surgery. Using techniques such as ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), interventional radiologists are able to perform precise, minimally invasive procedures that often reduce recovery time, minimize risks, and lower costs compared to traditional surgery.
IR procedures have wide applications, including the treatment of vascular diseases, tumors, kidney issues, and more. Common procedures in the field include angioplasty, embolization, thrombectomy, and radiofrequency ablation. One of the major advantages of IR is that these treatments can often be performed on an outpatient basis, with patients typically experiencing quicker recovery times than those undergoing traditional surgery.
Objectives of the Congress
The primary goal of the Turkish Interventional Radiology Congress 2023 is to provide a platform for education, innovation, and discussion among professionals in the field. The event is structured around several objectives:
- Continuing Medical Education (CME): The congress offers workshops and training sessions for professionals at different levels, from early-career interventional radiologists to seasoned practitioners. These sessions are designed to help medical professionals keep up with the latest advancements in IR, offering
