World Radiography Day (WRD) is observed annually on November 8th to honour the groundbreaking discovery of X-rays by Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen in 1895. The day, first celebrated in 2007 by the International Society of Radiographers and Radiological Technologists (ISRRT), has become a global event. In 2012, the European Society of Radiology (ESR), the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) and the American College of Radiology (ACR) came together to coordinate the first major celebration of the day.
