چکیده

THE membership of the Society of Interventional Radiology (SIR) Standards of Practice Committee represents experts in a broad spectrum of interventional procedures from both the private and academic sectors of medicine. Generally, Standards of Practice Committee members dedicate the vast majority of their professional time to performing interventional procedures; as such they represent a valid broad expert constituency of the subject matter under consideration for standards production. Technical documents specifying the exact consensus and literature review methodologies, as well as the institutional affiliations and professional credentials of the authors of this document, are available upon request from SIR, 10201 Lee Highway Suite 500, Fairfax, VA 22030.
