SPECIAL COMMUNICATION
JVIR Editor’s Awards: 2015 Top Papers Ziv J Haskal, MD In 2011, I inaugurated two prestigious annual Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology (JVIR) awards: The JVIR Editor’s Award for Outstanding Clinical Research Paper and the JVIR Editor’s Award for Outstanding Laboratory Investigation. These awards bear a substantial monetary prize, granted by the Society of Interventional Radiology Foundation as acknowledgment of the essential, best-in-class research that is conducted in interventional radiology and published within JVIR. The awardees were chosen by a review of all manuscripts published in 2015, voted by the editorial board members, and selected by the Editor-in-Chief. Because of the diversity of excellent laboratory and clinical research published in 2015, the categories of Editor’s Honorees were expanded this year. The award winners for the year 2015 are as follows.
