World Radiographers Day is November 8 2010

World Radiography Day is an annual, international initiative which is intended to raise awareness and interest in radiography as a career and to address the shortage of radiographers around the world.

The 8th of November will be celebrated by radiographers worldwide as World Radiography Day to commemorate Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen’s discovery. On this day in 1895, Professor Roentgen was working with cathode rays using evacuated glass bulbs. He noted that when a current passed across the bulb, a barium platino-cyanide screen fluoresced and furthermore he noted the effect of the phenomenon on photographic plates. He termed this new discovery ‘X-Rays’. He further asserted that, with the use of these ‘X-Rays’ he was able to see through the body. Within three months of Roentgen’s discovery, radiographs were generated in major cities.
wikiRadiography would like to encourage radiographersall over the world to celebrate this great discovery. World Radiography Dayis an annual international initiative intended to raise awareness of, and to stimulate an interest in, the profession of radiography. In addition it is aimed at highlighting the importance of radiography and the indispensable function it plays in the health care environment.

Participation in this celebration could include exhibitions/open days and presentations on radiography as a career to the public and to potential students and also to other health professionals. The day may be used as an oppurtunity to inform,and educate the publicabout radiography and what radiographers actually do.
