World Radiography Day
World Radiography Day is celebrated on 8 November each year. The date marks the anniversary of the discovery of x-radiation by Wilhelm Roentgen in 1895.
Radiographers worldwide can use the day and the days around the date to promote radiography as a career, as a vital contribution to modern healthcare and as a chance to increase public awareness of diagnostic imaging and radiation therapy.
News of World Radiography Day events by SoR members will be posted on the website and in Synergy News.
World Radiography Day is kindly sponsored by Guerbet.
