"So the American Journal of Medicine was 'the green journal' ... Radiology was 'the grey journal' ... AJR is 'the yellow journal' ... I did not want people to be able to get away with that with JVIR, because I wanted them to have to articulate the name. And nobody's going to ask for 'the mauve journal.'"—Gary Becker, MD, FSIR
In this episode, part of the ongoing celebration of the Society of Interventional Radiology (SIR) 50th anniversary, host Daniel Y. Sze, MD, PhD, FSIR, editor-in-chief of SIR's Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology (JVIR), discusses the journal's history with its very first editor-in-chief, Gary Becker, MD, FSIR, including what led to the journal's launch, the early challenges he had to overcome and more.
