An Overview of Vietnamese Society of Interventional Radiology

Nguyen Minh Duc et al. Med Arch. 2020 Jun.

Abstract

Introduction: The Vietnamese Society of Interventional Radiology (VSIR) is one of the world's youngest interventional radiology (IR) societies, with more than 150 members. During the first decade of the development phase, in addition to a number of achievements, the VSIR has continued to address problematic circumstances.

Aim: This article aims to describe the current status of VSIR, to introduce VSIR to other IR societies.

Methods: We investigated VSIR, using internet sources and related academic and clinical papers.

Results: VSIR was founded in 2010 and has succeeded in advancing education and scientific research during the last 10 years.

Conclusion: VSIR is widely involved and accepted in Vietnamese medicine. We recommend the launch of an IR training program and support a unified global IR platform, for the benefit of both clinicians and patients in the near future.

Keywords: Achievement; Development; Vietnamese Society of Interventional Radiology.
