The International Day of Radiology (IDoR) is organized every year to promote the role of medical imaging in modern healthcare. L'event's audience takes place on November 8, coinciding with the anniversary of the discovery of X-rays by the German physicist Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen, which occurred on November 8, 1895. This discovery laid the foundations for the development of radiology as a medical discipline. The first IDoR celebration occurred in 2012 and was a joint initiative of the European Society of Radiology (ESR), the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA), and the American College of Radiology (ACR). Previously, starting from 2007, the International Society of Radiographers and Radiological Technologists had already established November 8 as World Radiograph Day, in collaboration with other national radiography associations such as the Society of Radiographers and the Association of Radiographers of Nigeria. Subsequently, the European Day of Radiology was launched in 2011 and led to the extension of the event internationally with the creation of the IDoR.
