Radiologists are specialised with the techniques in diagnosing and treating disease and injury by using medical imaging techniques like X-rays, CT, MRI, ultrasound, etc. Note: To celebrate International Radiology Day is a decision of the joint enterprise of the ESR, RSNA and ACR and the International Society of Radiology (ISR), as well as umbrella organisations on all continents including the Asian Oceanian Society of Radiology (AOSR), the Colegio Interamericano de Radiologia (CIR), the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Radiologists (RANZCR), and the Radiological Society of South Africa (RSSA).Īnd the European Federation of Radiographer Societies (EFRS) also actively backs and promotes the International Day of Radiology. Let us tell you that in the first year of the International Radiology Day celebration around 80 radiology societies from across the globe were involved. Together ESR and the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) and the American College of Radiology (ACR) decided to observe the International Day of Radiology on 8 November and the first time it was celebrated in 2012. The European Society of Radiology (ESR) in 2011 resolved that there should be a celebration regarding radiology annually to mark the discovery of X-Radiation done by Roentgen on 8 November, 1895. In fact, International Radiology Day is also followed by the World Radiography Day. World Radiography Day is observed on 8 November since 2007, to mark the date of the discovery of Roentgen's discovery of X-radiation. In 2017, the theme was 'Emergency Radiology'. In 2018, the theme was 'Cardiac Imaging'. International Day of Radiology (IDOR) celebration is a week-long celebration as National Radiologic Technology Week from 3 November to 9 November 2019. The theme of 2019 focuses on the essential role that imaging professionals play in the detection, diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of sports-related injuries, increases the quality of care and treatment of patients. The theme of International Radiology Day 2019 is 'Sports Imaging'. International Day of Radiology 2019: Theme technologies help in finding health-related problems by providing an eye-catching image. This day raises awareness about radiology, the way it contributes to safe and patient care and understanding the crucial role that radiologists and radiological technologists play in healthcare. Let us tell you that X-rays were discovered by Wilhelm Roentgen in 1895. International Day of Radiology event is organised by the International Society of Radiographers and Radiological Technologists (ISRRT).
