Gold Medal In December, the Academy of Radiology Research (ARR) presented its 2015 Gold Medal to SIR Past-president Stanley Baum, MD, FSIR. Dr. Baum conceived the idea of having a society devoted to the radiologic study of cardiovascular disease, which led to the formation of SIR (formerly the Society of Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiology, SCVIR). Dr. Baum helped to found ARR in 1995 and served as its president from 1997–1999.
