Dr. Charles T. Dotter Lecture

The Dr. Charles T. Dotter Lecture was initiated in 1984 as an annual invited lecture to honor Dr. Dotter as one of the founding fathers of interventional radiology. The award provides a forum for the recipient to deliver the special Dr. Charles T. Dotter Lecture during the SIR Annual Scientific Meeting.

The lecturer is selected by the SIR president. The award has been given to a nonmember, non-IR once. The lecture is published annually in JVIR.

Eligibility criteria

Awardees are senior interventionalists recognized for their extraordinary contributions to the field, dedicated service to the society, and distinguished career achievements in interventional radiology.
