Top 2021 JVIR Articles

The JVIR Best of 2021 CME Activity compiles questions based on the 13 articles selected to receive the 2021 JVIR Editor’s Top Paper Awards, the most prestigious recognition given by the journal. The 13 articles were selected from 145 total full-length articles, and include five laboratory investigations and eight clinical research studies.

The overall goal of this activity is to improve patient care by ensuring that learners are familiar with the most potentially impactful JVIR content of the prior year that may affect the practice of IR.

This program is designed to meet the educational needs of interventional radiologists, nurses, techs, and trainees at all levels with special interest in treatment of patients with chronic joint pain, specifically of the shoulder and knee.
