World Radiography Day

• World Radiography Day is celebrated every year on November 8 to commemorate the discovery of X-rays.

• The day also honours the work of radiographers and radiologists for their role in diagnosing medical conditions.

• In radiography, radiation is used to create images of the body's tissues, organs, bones and blood vessels.

• These are needed for the diagnosis and treatment of a patient.

• The theme of this year's World Radiography Day is "Radiographers: Seeing the Invisible."
