The Royal College of Radiologists (RCR) said too few children had access to life-saving paediatric interventional radiology (PIR) treatment, with just 12 of these consultants in the UK – equivalent to one for every million children Dr Alex Barnacle inews.co.uk/news/health/uk…

After watching Dopesick On Hulu I was motivated to decrease opioid use in the Pediatric IR suite. Lurie IR partnered with LurieAnesthesia to provide nerve blocks for vascular malformation/bone cysts and it’s a game changer! 309 patients evaluated. rapm.bmj.com/content/early/…
