Journal Title: American Journal of Interventional Radiology - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 17

We are on track to publish approximately 25 items by the end of November 2018. Accomplishing this in just over a year is a testament to the specialty of IR and the academic nature of the practitioners in this specialty.
