Consequently, interventionalists are investing much energy in promoting their identity, as is clear from their presence on the Web. Dr. Charles Dotter and his innovative colleagues have established a tradition of excellence and achievement in cardiovascular and interventional radiology at Oregon Health Sciences University in Portland. This section includes a link to the fibroid embolization site, an exemplary resource for both patients and physicians. The Endovascular Forum is the most exciting place on the Web for interventional radiologists. The site is rich in content and offers a variety of ways for obtaining information about circulatory diseases.
Registered visitors can chat with peers on subjects related to vascular intervention.
Online experts will answer questions, and multiple cases are presented in an interactive format. The Web site provides information about the society's annual congress and a link to the Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology, where a paid subscription is required to see the full text of articles. Some patient information will appear on this site in due course. This site was organized earlier this year in Prague, in close collaboration with the Oregon Health Sciences University. Recordings of several scientific presentations, live procedure transmissions, and panel discussions will be available online until next June.
