WIRS

Core image-guided, non-vascular and oncologic IR

The common-procedure foundation of non-vascular IR — biopsy, drainage and access work that registrars meet earliest and most often — through to hepatobiliary, urinary and enteric intervention and interventional-oncology principles.

The Bone Window is a WIRS subspecialty initiative in musculoskeletal intervention. It feeds this pillar rather than becoming one of its own.
