Dear Friends,
I take this opportunity to invite you all to join me in celebrating ‘World Radiography Day’
We all know that this momentous day is dedicated to that legendary person who gave us means to serve humanity in way like no other had seen before. The day is officially "in recognition of the extraordinary services Wilhelm Roentgen has rendered by the discovery of the remarkable rays subsequently named after him".
This occasion would give us all an opportunity to interact, collaborate, share our own ideas, experiences and expertise which I am sure would result in better insights into this remarkable field of Radiography.
The IART is still a very young international organization. However, since its establishment it has rapidly acquired its proper place in the international Radiographic family. Our joint objectives within the IART, is to promote the principle of cooperation.
The agenda will be filled with informative sessions including FACULTY OF NATIONAL REPUTE, field experts and participating individuals.
I encourage you to share the CME CUM WORLD RADIOGRAPHY DAY invitation with anyone you believe would be interested in attending the conference.
