OUR HISTORY

The Society, previously known as the Radiology History and Heritage Charitable Trust, grew from the Radiology History Committee which had been established in 1987 as an independent body with wide affiliations. It consisted of individuals interested in the history of radiology, representatives of institutions and nominees from various professional organizations and was chaired by Professor Ian Isherwood of the University of Manchester.

The Society has elected officers and is managed by a Council drawn from the membership with representatives of affiliated organisations. The Council meets several times a year and there is an Annual General Meeting, usually in February.

A highlight of our year is the annual open lecture, given by a distinguished invited speaker, on the day of our AGM.
