World Radiography Day
The discovery of the X-ray on November 8th is commemorated on World Radiography Day, which takes place on November 8th. The day also acknowledges the vital role that radiographers and radiologists play in the health-care industry..
An X-ray is the first thing a doctor does when a patient breaks a bone. This kind of medical imaging aids healthcare professionals in knowing what's going on inside the body. The painless diagnostic test uses a form of electromagnetic radiation that passes through objects.
In addition to bone fractures, X-rays can also detects:
- Tumors
- Enlarged heart
- Blockages of blood vessels are common in blood vessel blockages
- Fluid in lungs
- Dislocated joints
- Internal infections
- Osteoporosis
- Tooth decay
- Foreign objects in the body are in the body. Foreign objects are found in the body
The X-rays are non-invasive and take only a few minutes to complete, which are the benefits of them. Doctors love X-rays because the findings can be seen almost immediately. Radiographers perform X-rays, and radiologists perform X-rays, and after the test is completed, the results are evaluated by a radiologist. The radioologist then sends the doctor the details. The radiologist then sends the doctor the details. Radiographers in some instances may need to use other types of medical imaging techniques to diagnose a problem. A CT Scan, MRI, fluoroscopy, mammography, or ultrasound may be needed to perform an ultrasound.
In 1895, X-rays were discovered by Wilhelm Conrad Rontgen, a German mechanical engineer and physicist, who first detected X-rays. In 1901, he received the first Nobel Prize in physics for his work. Marie Curie, a Polish-born physicist, contributed to the X-ray's advancement by using radium, an element she discovered. Hospitals were already using X-ray equipment in the early 1900s. X-rays had been a normal part of patient diagnostics by the 1930s. Around 3.6 million diagnostic tests that use radiation in medical imaging are performed each year. Diagnostic problems that account for up to 80% of diagnostic problems can be solved with the help of X-rays.
How to celebrate #worldradiographyday.org
Radiographer associations and healthcare providers host activities that educate the public about X-rays and radiation safety on this day. Radiographers also hold conferences and seminars to discuss and implement changes in their field. Global health organizations are also on alert that radiography coverage and quality in developing countries must rise. It's also a day for global health organisations to campaign for the need to increase radiography coverage and improve quality.

History of the world radiography day has long been celebrated on this day
The Radiographers Association of Madhya Pradesh, India, has held a special radiography day since 1996. diologic Technicians have commemorated World Radiography Day since 2007. The International Society of Radiographers and Radiologic Technicians has commemorated World Radiography Day since 2007. They chose November 8th to commemorate the date in 1895 that X-rays were first discovered in 1895.
