IR Escape Room at SIR 2026

Step into a fast-paced, interactive IR challenge where you and your team work through realistic clinical scenarios under time pressure. Together you will interpret imaging, make procedural decisions, manage complications, and “escape” by reaching the correct clinical resolution. The experience emphasizes communication, critical thinking, and practical IR knowledge.

Participation is hands-on, highly engaging, and requires no advance preparation.
