Did you know that we’re currently in the middle of another National Radiologic Technology Week? It’s time to celebrate!

The annual holiday always runs the week of Nov. 8 to honor the anniversary of Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen’s discovery of the x-ray in 1895.

This week’s celebration goes from Nov. 8 to Nov. 14, and the American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT) website has the resources required to make the most of it.

There’s even a store full of gift ideas to help keep the celebration going.
