SIR-RFS Journal Club (7/12/2018): Innovating through IR

SIR-RFS Webinar: Innovating through IR

Presented by Dr. J David Prologo, MD
Professor of Interventional Radiology
Emory University

Do not miss the opportunity to hear about how Dr. Prologo from Emory is using his IR skill set to solve new problems. His research is focused on the application of image guided techniques to the delivery of stem cell therapies, the treatment of cancer pain, and for obesity management. He is a nationally recognized expert in ablative therapies and has pioneered several new procedures in the subspecialty – including the cryoablation of nerves. This will be a great lesson for trainees to witness where the field is headed, demonstrating the innovative and creative nature of interventional radiology!!!
