The International Day of Radiology (IDoR) is an annual event promoting the role of medical imaging in modern healthcare.
Due to the success of the EDoR, the ESR entered into cooperation with the RSNA and the ACR to establish the International Day of Radiology.
On November 8, 1895 Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen discovered x-rays by chance while investigating cathode rays, effectively laying the foundation for the medical discipline of radiology.

These celebrations come in the form of exhibitions, workshops, lectures, and social media campaigns which invite radiologists as well as the general public to participate and learn more about radiology.
