The Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) is a non-profit organization and an international society of radiologists, medical physicists and other medical imaging professionals representing 31 radiologic subspecialties from 145 countries around the world. Based in Oak Brook, Illinois, it was established in 1915.
Radiographers, also known as radiologic technologists, diagnostic radiographers and medical radiation technologists are healthcare professionals who specialise in the imaging of human anatomy for the diagnosis and treatment of pathology. Radiographers are infrequently, and almost always erroneously, known as x-ray technicians. In countries that use the title radiologic technologist they are often informally referred to as techs in the clinical environment; this phrase has emerged in popular culture such as television programmes. The term radiographer can also refer to a therapeutic radiographer, also known as a radiation therapist.
The Society of Radiographers (SoR) is a professional body and trade union that represents more than 90 percent of the diagnostic and therapeutic radiographers in the United Kingdom. The College of Radiographers (CoR) is a charitable subsidiary of the Society, they are collectively known as the Society and College of Radiographers (SCoR).
Within the medical field of otology, the Stenvers projection is a radiological technique that provides an oblique view of the skull and establishes a better perspective on the petrous bone, bony labyrinth, and internal auditory canal. It focuses on the posteroanterior and lateral planes.
The European Society of Radiology (ESR) is an international medical society based in Vienna, Austria dedicated to the promotion and coordination of scientific, philanthropic, intellectual and professional activities of radiology in Europe. In addition to various other activities, the ESR serves as an umbrella organisation for European radiologists, organises the annual European Congress of Radiology (ECR) and coordinates the publication of European Radiology, a monthly peer-reviewed medical journal. Additionally, the ESR pilots the harmonisation of teaching programmes throughout Europe with various activities and initiatives.

Radiumhemmet is a non-surgical cancer treatment and radiotherapy research institution in Solna, Sweden. Since 1938, it has been a division of what is now the Karolinska University Hospital. It was founded in 1910 in central Stockholm as the first oncological clinic in Sweden, succeeding a radium research and treatment institution at the Serafimerlasarett founded in 1906, and played a major role in the development of radiotherapy, especially in gynaecological cancers.
Dose–Response is a quarterly peer-reviewed scientific journal covering research on the dose-response relationship, especially hormesis. It was established in 2003 as Nonlinearity in Biology, Toxicology and Medicine, obtaining its current name in 2005. It is published by SAGE Publications on behalf of the International Dose-Response Society, of which it is the official journal. Since its founding, the journal's editor-in-chief has been Edward Calabrese. According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2015 impact factor of 1.855, ranking it 162nd out of 255 journals in the category "Pharmacology & Pharmacy" and 62nd out of 124 in the category "Radiology, Nuclear Medicine & Medical Imaging."
IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging is a monthly peer-reviewed scientific journal published by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). It covers technological aspects of medical imaging techniques. The journal was established in 1982 and since 2019 the editor-in-chief is Leslie Ying. It is sponsored by four IEEE societies, IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, IEEE Signal Processing Society, IEEE Nuclear and Plasma Sciences Society, and IEEE Ultrasonics, Ferroelectrics & Frequency Control Society.
Prof. Holger Pettersson was a Swedish radiologist and educator. He was born in Ödsmål near Uddevalla, Sweden. He received his MD from University of Lund. In 1975, he finished his residency at Malmö General Hospital, Sweden and received his qualification as a specialist in diagnostic radiology. After three years, he got his specialization in pediatric radiology.
Franciscus Stephanus Petrus (Frans) van Buchem was a Dutch physician and professor, known for the discovery of Van Buchem disease, which was named after him.

Frans was, among other things, the Chief Physician in Internal Medicine of the St Elisabeth Hospital and after the end of World War Two, became a professor of Internal Medicine at the University of Groningen. In 1954, van Buchem diagnosed a patient with what he referred to as hyperosteosis corticales generalisata familiaris, later named Van Buchem disease. A year later, he published an article in Acta Radiologica on the disease.
