World Radiography Day is celebrated on 8 November each year. The date marks the anniversary of the discovery of x-rays by Wilhelm Roentgen in 1895.

Radiographers worldwide can use the day and the days around the date to promote radiography as a career, as a vital contribution to modern healthcare and as a chance to increase public awareness of diagnostic imaging and radiation therapy.
