International Day of Radiology


Coinciding with the anniversary of the discovery of X-rays, International Day of Radiology is celebrated each year on November 8th. It is a day to build greater awareness of the value of radiology, to highlight the impact that radiology has made and will continue to make on medicine. It is an opportunity to acknowledge and celebrate the vital role that radiology has played in allowing for earlier detection, fewer/less invasive surgeries, and minimally invasive treatments.
