SIR EDGE 2026
Real cases. Real decisions. Real practice. SIR EDGE reimagines typical medical education through immersive, case‑based learning, designed to support interventional radiologists in providing longitudinal care.
About
SIR EDGE is a different kind of IR meeting. It isn’t built around lectures. It’s built around how interventional radiology is actually practiced—through cases, decisions and real‑world judgment.
At the center of EDGE is a completely reimagined learning experience:
Case‑O‑Rama
A signature, high‑energy format designed to keep you engaged from start to finish.
What to expect:
- Rapid‑fire and deep‑dive case presentations
- Dynamic pacing that maximizes engagement and retention
- Real‑world cases spanning the full breadth of IR
From arterial disease to oncology, embolization to complex interventions, Case‑O‑Rama brings the entire specialty together in one immersive experience. This is not passive learning. This is seeing how experts think, adapt and make decisions—in real time.
Focused clinical tracks
SIR EDGE 2026 will also feature two highly curated clinical tracks, designed to deliver depth, relevance and practical insight:
- Track 1: MSK and pain management
- Track 2: Interventional oncology
