The Nonclinical Drivers of IR

This issue of Seminars in Interventional Radiology focuses on aspects of IR that many of us know little about, perhaps care nothing about, and largely ignore whenever possible. The topics included in this issue have nothing to do with our ability to diagnose or treat disorders, describe nothing flashy or novel, and for the most part won't get one invited to give a lecture at a meeting of much significance. Or, if lucky enough to be invited, expect to be giving the lecture at the last session of the last day to three other speakers, two meeting attendees who had to check out of their hotel room and had no place else to go for three hours, and two housekeepers. Trust me—I know.
