World Radiography Day is a global healthcare awareness event observed on the 8th of November every year to increase public awareness with respect to the vital role of diagnostic imaging, radiation therapy and radiographer play in healthcare management.
On this day, various organisations such as the European Society of Radiology (ESR), Radiological Society of North America (RSNA), and American College of Radiology (ACR) join and conduct several awareness campaigns to raise awareness about radiology and honour the role that radiologists and radiology technologists play in healthcare.
Radiology is the medical field that uses imaging technology to identify and treat conditions affecting human and animal bodies. To diagnose or treat diseases, a range of imaging techniques are utilised, including fluoroscopy, positron emission tomography (PET), computed tomography (CT), ultrasound, X-ray radiography, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Using imaging technologies to guide minimally invasive medical operations is known as interventional radiology.
