World Radiography Day - November 8
Wed Nov 8th

World Radiography Day

World Radiography Day, November 8th, marks the X-ray's discovery on November 8th. The day also acknowledges the vital role that radiographers and radiologists play in the health-care industry.

Order an X-ray is the first thing a doctor does when a patient breaks a bone. Healthcare professionals can see what's going on inside the body with this kind of medical imaging.. A method of electromagnetic radiation that passes through objects is used in the painless diagnostic test.

In addition to bone fractures, X-rays can also detects:

  • Tumors
  • Enlarged heart
  • Blood vessel blockages are common in blood vessel blockages
  • Fluid in lungs
  • Dislocated joints
  • Internal infections
  • Osteoporosis
  • Tooth decay
  • Foreign objects in the body are included in the body

X-rays are incredibly non-invasive and take only a few minutes to complete, which are among the benefits of the procedure. Doctors like X-rays because the results can be seen almost immediately. Radiographers perform X-rays, and when the test is completed, the results are evaluated by a radiologist. The radiologist then gives the doctor the appropriate details. In some instances, radiologists must use other types of medical imaging techniques to diagnose a problem.. These may include a CT Scan, MRI, fluoroscopy, mammography, or ultrasound. MRI, fluoroscopy, mammography, or ultrasound can all be included.

In 1895, Wilhelm Conrad Rontgen, a German mechanical engineer and physicist, first detected X-rays. He received the first Nobel Prize in physics in 1901 for his discovery. Marie Curie, a Polish-born physicist, helped advance the X-ray by using radium, an element she discovered. Hospitals were already using X-ray technology in the early 1900s in the early 1900s. X-rays were a common part of patient diagnostics by the 1930s. Each year, approximately 3.6 million diagnostic tests that use radiation in medical imaging are performed each year. With the help of X-rays, up to 80% of diagnostic problems can be solved.

How to celebrate #worldradiographydayorg

On this day, radiograph associations and healthcare providers host events that inform the public about X-rays and radiation safety. Radiographers also host conferences and seminars to share ideas and implement changes in their field. Global health organizations are also on the front of urging radiography coverage and quality in developing countries.

The day of world radiography day is a landmark in the history of world radiography day

The Radiographers Association of Madhya Pradesh in India has held a special radiography day since 1996. Since 2007, the International Society of Radiographers and Radiological Technicians has celebrated World Radiography Day. They selected the date of November 8th to commemorate the date in 1895 when X-rays were first discovered in 1895.
