♦ World Radiography Day is observed every year on November 8 to commemorate the historic discovery of X-radiation by Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen in 1895.

♦ This discovery led to the first radiographic image of his wife's hand and eventually won him the first Nobel Prize in 1901.

♦ This day recognises and honours the pivotal role of radiographers in the modern healthcare system.

♦ 2024 theme: "Radiographers: Seeing the Unseen"
