The Award of Excellence and Innovation in IR Innovative spirit In 2019, Boris Guiu and Mathieu T. Boulin received the award for their work on Idarubicin as an anticancer agent for transarterial chemoembolisation (TACE) of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Development The continuous development and refinement of new agents, devices and techniques by resourceful interventional radiologists will further expand the remarkable spectrum of treatments offered by our specialty. Recognition Many patients are grateful for the wide range of minimally invasive alternatives to open surgery from which they can now benefit. Furthermore, CIRSE also wishes to honour your dedication and excellence in IR and present your innovation to the IR community during the Opening and Awards Ceremony of CIRSE 2020. Recipients of this distinction will be awarded with a certificate of merit for their contributions to the field, as well as a cash prize of €6,000. How to apply Send us your groundbreaking research results, details of a novel technique you developed or the cutting-edge equipment you have just patented. Our board of reviewers welcomes all your innovations and looks forward to the advances they may bring to IR! R.W. Günther Foundation We warmly thank the R.W. Günther Foundation for kindly sponsoring the award. The Foundation is based in Aachen, Germany, and aims to promote science and research, especially in the fields of radiological sciences, and diagnostic and interventional radiology; as well as to support the national and international co-operation. Please note that all applications must be submitted with a relevant CV or, in the case of research groups, a description of the members involved. All applications must be submitted by May 15, 2020 to scientific@cirse.org. For more information, please visit the CIRSE website.
