About ISHRAD

History of ISHRAD

We are a very varied group and the one thing that draws us together is our passion for the history of radiology and all aspects of medical imaging and therapy. Medical imaging is changing all the time and is increasingly central to patient management and care. The story of radiology is fascinating and needs to be celebrated and recorded.

The idea of an international society of the history of radiology was born in Vienna, Austria in 2004 at the European Congress of Radiology (ECR).
