As part of International Women’s Day 2026, WIN – Women in Neurointervention, a group within ESMINT – is proud to share the results of the #BeBoth photo campaign.
Interventional neuroradiology is demanding – and deeply fulfilling. Yet the perception still persists that this profession is difficult to reconcile with other goals, passions, or family life.
With the #BeBoth campaign, WIN set out to challenge this perception and make visible what many colleagues experience every day:
You can be both.

More InformationFollowing our #BeBoth call in February, neurointerventionalists from different countries shared personal photos reflecting the many facets of their lives beyond the angiosuite. The idea was simple: show two sides of life that coexist.
For some, this meant work shoes next to running shoes. For others, work shoes next to a child’s shoe, a hiking boot, or even the paw of a four-legged companion.
Each image tells a small story – about balance, identity, and the many paths within neurointervention.
The #BeBoth Community
Together, these contributions form a visual statement: There is no single way to be a neurointerventionalist. The collage below brings together one image from each participant, representing the diversity of experiences within our community.
Below, you can explore all submitted photos in the gallery.
Thank You
We sincerely thank all colleagues who contributed to the #BeBoth campaign. By sharing these moments, you help make visible what is often lived but rarely shown.
Your images remind us that neurointervention is not only a profession – it is part of a life that can include many passions, roles, and identities.
