Gold Medal

National contributions and clinical excellence alone shall not be sufficient. Gold Medallists also have significantly promoted the image and impact of the society by personal influence and international recognition.

Distinguished Fellowship

Distinguished Fellows have made exceptional contributions to the practice and science of interventional radiology.

Award of Excellence and Innovation in IR

The Award of Excellence and Innovation in Interventional Radiology is sponsored by the Rolf W. Günther Foundation for Radiological Sciences and is awarded for outstanding work for the advancement of interventional radiology. Established in 2012, this distinction has been given to some of the most innovative physicians in the field.

2024 CVIR Editors’ Medal

Established in 1997, the CVIR Editors’ Medal is presented to the first author of an outstanding paper published in CVIR the previous year. The winning paper is chosen by the Editor-in-Chief who takes into account recommendations made by the section and regional editors. The Editors’ Medal is not only a medal on its own but is also accompanied by an overall grant of 5,000 EUR for the winner(s). This substantial contribution makes the CVIR Editors’ Medal one of the most prestigious prizes awarded by an international journal and we hope that it will encourage even more authors to send their best work to CVIR.
