Synergy 2015 Honors Peter Mueller, MD Professor of Radiology Division Head, Interventional Radiology Massachusetts General Hospital Harvard Medical School Boston, MA |
Peter Mueller completed his medical training at the University of Cincinnati, Ohio, USA. After that he was a resident in radiology at Massachusetts General Hospital, Department of Radiology, Boston, USA. In 1978 he started his interventional career in the GI radiology section at Massachusetts General Hospital. His mentor at that time was Joseph Ferrucci. Many of the procedures in non-vascular radiology, which are now considered routine, such as
- percutaneous biopsy,
- abscess drainage,
- cholecystostomy,
- gastrostomy,
- biliary drainage,
- benign biliary drainage and
- percutaneous ablation of liver and renal tumours,
were either developed or further studied by the group of interventional radiologists that worked in this division. In the 1970s, 80s and 90s, the combination of imaging and intervention was just beginning and Prof. Mueller and his colleagues wrote many papers and gave many courses in these areas. His primary clinical and research interests are in interventional radiology, especially in biliary intervention, abscess drainage and percutaneous ablation of malignant tumours of the liver and kidney.
Over the years, Prof. Mueller has been intimately involved with novel techniques such as the Brown-Mueller T-Tack for use in percutaneous gastrostomy and percutaneous gastrojejunostomy and the Dawson-Mueller drainage catheter for fluid drainages. He has published well over 300 articles, several books and editorships, and given over 20 “named” lectures on interventional radiology. His Division of Abdominal Imaging and Interventional Radiology at Massachusetts General Hospital was one of the first in the United States to accept fellows from Europe, many of whom have gone on to distinguished careers in their homeland. This includes the recent President of CIRSE, Michael J. Lee.
More recently, he has become the Division Head of all Interventional Radiology at the MGH.
Prof. Mueller has been on the editorial boards of many radiology journals including
- Radiology,
- The American Journal of Roentgenology,
- Clinical Radiology, and
- Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiology.
He is the past Editor-in-Chief of Seminars in Interventional Radiology. He is the past President of the Society of Hepatobiliary Radiology, the New England Roentgen Ray Society, and the Society of Abdominal Radiology.
He has received an Honorary Membership of the European Society of Interventional Radiology and the European Radiology Society, Irish College of Medicine, the British College of Medicine and the Asian Society of Radiology.
He has received the Gold Medal from the British Interventional Radiology Society, and the Cardiovascular and Interventional Society of European Radiology (CIRSE); In addition, he has given the prestigious Dotter Lecture for the American Society of Interventional Radiology.
This year, Synergy honors Professor Mueller for his outstanding achievement and contribution to the field of Interventional Radiology.

Synergy 2015 – A Multidisciplinary Approach to Interventional Oncology
November 5-8, 2015, Eden Roc Hotel, Miami Beach, FL
This annual symposium offers attendees a review of a variety of oncological diseases combined with the latest developments in medical, interventional and surgical therapeutic options across multiple disciplines. A practical overview of how to incorporate emerging therapies into practice will be included with emphasis on the multidisciplinary approach needed to achieve the highest levels of success in the fight against cancer. New this year, is a one-day multidisciplinary symposium on Prostate Interventions (PAE) offering a comprehensive review on emerging topics and various aspects of Prostate Artery Embolization, combined with the latest developments in medical, surgical and interventional management of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia and Prostate cancer. Leading experts from national and international programs will present the latest data and treatment innovations for oncological challenges in multiple organ systems with emphasis on implementation from diagnosis to treatment. The meeting will be didactic and interactive with panel discussions and instructive case presentations focused on hepatocellular carcinoma, lung cancer, metastatic colorectal cancer, cholangiocarcinoma and liver metastases, renal and prostate cancer, pancreatic cancer, neuroendocrine, musculoskeletal tumors and palliative treatment options. A Nursing Symposium will also be presented on the last day of the conference.
Statement of Need
In the past few years, interventional oncology has evolved into an important subspecialty as more interventional radiologists are actively involved in the management of oncologic patients. Unlike other procedures handled by interventional radiologists, interventional oncology requires an in-depth understanding of the different types of cancers, current standards and proper use of treatment choices and working with a multidisciplinary group. Synergy 2015 will be a forum for the convergence of the expertise and knowledge of various specialists involved in oncologic care to promote better understanding and improved outcomes of patient care.
Target Audience
Interventional radiologists, oncologists, radiation oncologists, transplant and oncologic surgeons, hepatologists, gastroenterologists, urologists and nurse practitioners/nurses, technologists and allied healthcare professionals.
Learning Objectives
At the completion of the course, attendees will be able to: • Identify the current oncological problems faced in a variety of organ systems • Implement modern multidisciplinary techniques for diagnosis and intervention in the treatment of cancer • Incorporate modern interventional radiology therapeutic techniques in cancer treatment • Examine the basics of BPH and the current management guidelines • Assess prostatic arterial vasculature • Identify the current status and challenges with Prostate Artery Embolization in the management of BPH and prostate cancer • Implement modern multidisciplinary techniques for diagnosis and intervention in the management of BPH
Accreditation
The University of Miami Leonard M. Miller School of Medicine is accredited by the ACCME to provide continuing medical education for physicians.
