World Radiography Day takes place on 8th November every year to cele
Wilhelm Roentgen was a German engineer and physicist, who’s discovery of x-ray changed the way health professionals determine a range of issues for patients by producing high quality images of inside the body.
The aim of the day is to raise awareness of x-ray imaging and therapy which plays a vital role in patient diagnosis and treatment.
Radiography is often the first step to developing patient care and involves many more imaging methods than the original Roentgen x-ray discovery.
This year we are shining a light on Interventional Radiology to showcase the work going on in this area of medical imaging across Greater Manchester.
