Top 2022 JVIR Articles

The JVIR Best of 2022 CME Activity compiles questions based on the 13 articles selected to receive the 2022 JVIR Editor’s Top Paper Awards, the most prestigious recognition given by the journal. The 13 articles were selected from over 140 total full-length articles, and include both laboratory investigations and 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.
