World Radiography Day 2025: Celebrating the Invisible Heroes of Healthcare

Every year on November 8, the world celebrates World Radiography Day — a day dedicated to recognizing the vital role that radiographers and radiologic technologists play in modern medicine. This day also marks the discovery of X-rays by Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen in 1895 — a breakthrough that revolutionized medical diagnostics forever.
At B. P. Poddar Hospital & Medical Research Limited, we take this opportunity to honor the contributions of our radiology professionals who help detect diseases, monitor treatment progress, and guide accurate medical decisions every single day.

Why Radiography Matters in Modern Healthcare

Radiography is much more than just taking an X-ray. It encompasses a range of advanced imaging technologies including CT scans, MRI, Ultrasound, and Mammography that help doctors diagnose internal conditions without surgery.
These imaging tools are essential for identifying fractures, tumors, infections, and internal bleeding — often long before symptoms appear. Without radiology, modern healthcare would be incomplete.

The Role of Radiographers: The Unseen Support System

Behind every accurate diagnosis is a skilled radiographer. They are trained professionals who operate imaging equipment, ensure patient safety, and provide precise images that guide doctors in making life-saving decisions. At B. P.
