Lausanne University Hospital (CHUV)
“For our Interventional Radiology unit at CHUV in Lausanne, IASIOS was not simply a certification process, but an opportunity to harmonize a rapidly expanding and highly specialized activity across oncology, endovascular, and emergency interventions. The process helped us formalize workflows, strengthen collaboration between physicians, nurses, physicists, and technologists, and improve traceability and quality management within a complex university hospital environment. Importantly, IASIOS also provided external recognition of the high standards already embedded in our daily practice while identifying practical areas for further development and innovation.”

251 Hellenic Airforce Hospital
“The Department of Interventional Radiology and Neuroradiology of the 251 Hellenic Air Force General Hospital has been at the forefront of minimally invasive and image-guided therapies since its establishment in 1992, working in close collaboration with all Medical and Surgical Departments of the Hospital in fulfillment of the healthcare and social mission of the Hellenic Air Force.
Over the years, our Department has continuously evolved by integrating state-of-the-art Interventional Radiology techniques and modern patient-centered therapies that are increasingly transforming contemporary medical practice. From advanced oncologic interventions and embolization therapies to complex vascular and neuroradiological procedures, our goal remains to provide safer, less invasive, and more effective treatment options that improve patient outcomes, reduce recovery times, optimize the utilization of operating theaters and hospital resources, and minimize the need for prolonged hospitalization.
Receiving the IASIOS Accreditation is a great honor for the entire Hellenic Air Force family. This recognition reflects our unwavering commitment to excellence in patient care, innovation, safety, education, and multidisciplinary collaboration. We are particularly proud that the advanced Interventional Radiology services offered by our Hospital continue to expand access to cutting-edge therapies for both military personnel and the wider community. We are sincerely grateful to IASIOS for acknowledging the dedication, expertise, and vision of our team.”

Geneva University Hospitals
“Enrolling the Abdominal and Interventional Radiology Unit at Geneva University Hospitals (HUG) in the IASIOS accreditation program has been a rewarding milestone for our team. Navigating this rigorous process allowed us to thoroughly analyze our service lines and cross-sectionally review our interventional oncology patient pathways.
By aligning our clinical workflows with the CIRSE Standards of Quality Assurance, we have challenged ourselves to further elevate our daily practices. IASIOS places the patient squarely at the center of care while firmly positioning the interventional radiologist as a major, formalized player within the multidisciplinary oncology ecosystem. This certification process has been invaluable in helping us standardize, coordinate, and continuously improve our delivery of high-quality, image-guided cancer treatments. It powerfully affirms our unit’s unwavering commitment to safety, excellence, and optimal clinical outcomes for every patient we treat.”

Ordensklinikum Linz
“For our hospital, the IASIOS accreditation ensures that every oncologic patient is provided with a seamless journey from initial diagnosis through treatment and follow-up. It not only fosters vital interdisciplinary teamwork among oncologists, radiologists, and surgeons but also verifies our interventional radiology team’s expertise, state-of-the-art equipment, and strict safety protocols. This effectively minimizes risks in minimally invasive oncologic procedures. We’ve refined our clinical pathways for enhanced documentation and committed to ongoing audits and quality improvements, all of which build greater patient trust in every step of their treatment.
IASIOS delivers patient-centered oncology right here, reassuring patients with proven excellence. Our dedicated team feels deeply honored by this recognition, staying motivated to innovate and deliver outstanding results every single day.”

Leiden University Medical Centre
We are proud that IASIOS accreditation has strengthened how our service is recognised within our institution and beyond. It provides internationally recognised validation of the quality and safety of our practice, reinforcing our position in discussions with hospital leadership, particularly around strategic planning and resource allocation.
The accreditation has also increased confidence among referring clinicians, especially medical oncologists and oncologic surgeons, and strengthened our credibility in research collaborations and referral networks. Most importantly, it has helped formalise interventional oncology as a clinical specialty within comprehensive cancer care.
