More than 160 radiology-related professional societies around the world are preparing to participate in the seventh annual edition of the International Day of Radiology (IDoR), which will be held on 8 November and will focus on cardiac imaging.
IDoR 2018 will highlight the increasingly important role of radiologists in cardiac care, contributing to the diagnosis, preprocedural work-up, and follow-up of patients with a wide variety of cardiac pathology, according to the European Society of Radiology (ESR). As part of its involvement in the event, the ESR said it interviewed experts throughout Europe, Latin America, and Asia, as well as individuals from Canada, South Africa, and Egypt. The interviews, which can be accessed on the IDoR website, underline the significance of cardiac imaging in various regions of the world and show its current place in today's medical healthcare spectrum, according to the society.
Available in 30 languages, the IDoR 2018 poster can also be downloaded on the IDoR website. The society also noted that a publication on this year's main theme is currently being produced.
Launched in 2012, the IDoR is a joint initiative of the ESR, the RSNA, and the American College of Radiology (ACR).
