Dr. Charles T. Dotter Lecturer Award

In 1984, the Dr. Charles T. Dotter Lecturer was initiated as an annual lecture in honor of one of the early pioneers in interventional radiology. Each year this honor is extended to an accomplished and exceptional interventional radiologist for their extraordinary career achievement and contributions to the specialty.

2009 Dr. Charles T. Dotter Lecturer

Matthew A. Mauro, MD, FSIR
University of North Carolina School of Medicine

The 2009 Charles T. Dotter Lecture will be presented by a long-time SIR member who requires little introduction. Matthew A. Mauro, MD, FSIR, first joined SIR more than 15 years ago, in 1990, and was president of the Society from 1999 to 2000 as well as Chairman of the Society's Research and Educational Foundation from 2002-2004. He has actively participated in a variety of roles on the Executive Committee throughout his membership and on the Scientific Program Committee since 2000.

After receiving his medical degree at Cornell University Medical College, he completed his Diagnostic Radiology Residency at the University of North Carolina where he served as chief resident in 1980. He then completed a fellowship in Diagnostic and Vascular Radiology at UNC followed by a fellowship in abdominal and vascular/interventional radiology at the Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology. He returned to the University of North Carolina School of Medicine as a faculty member, where he has since served in a wide array of academic, clinical, and administrative positions. In January 2007, Dr. Mauro was appointed the Ernest H. Wood Distinguished Professor and Chair of Radiology at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine.

Dr. Mauro has displayed his commitment to furthering interventional radiology by generously giving of his time to both SIR and other medical societies. He currently is Chairman of the Committee on Interventional Radiology and member of the Board of Chancellors of the American College of Radiology, as well as Trustee of the American Board of Radiology. In his career, he has published more than 120 peer-reviewed articles and 30 book chapters, and he has served as a visiting professor/lecturer over 200 times. His most recent work, the textbook Image Guided Interventions, was recently published in 2008.

John A. Kaufman, MD, FSIR, current SIR president, said, "Matt has been, and continues to be, one of the most influential leaders in IR and radiology . . . I can think of no one more deserving of this honor."
