On Tuesday 10 November, 2015,
The Royal Australian and New Zealand
College of Radiologists (RANZCR)
attended a morning tea organised
by the Australian Diagnostic Imaging
Association (ADIA) at Parliament House
in Canberra to celebrate the 4th annual
International Day of Radiology (IDoR).
International Day of Radiology
celebrates the anniversary of Wilhelm
Conrad Roentgen’s discovery of the
existence of X-rays on 8 November in
1895.
The annual event is celebrated around
the world to build a greater awareness
of the importance of radiology in
the community and the significant
advances that have been achieved in the
healthcare system through diagnostic
imaging.
The theme for the fourth year of IDoR
was paediatric imaging. The day was
dedicated to highlighting the crucial
role that radiology has in the detection,
diagnosis and management of a wide
variety of diseases affecting children and
the specialised treatment required for
younger patients.
