Websites of the Divisions: Neuroradiology Interventional Radiology The objectives of the Section of Radiology Radiology has been a distinct medical specialty with unique technical challenges from its inception. The origins of specialisation can be in fact traced back to the technical nature of X-ray image capture and radiologists have been clinical specialists who have been obliged to become expert in image capture technology, broad based advances in engineering and, more recently, applications of IT for healthcare, which continue to drive and be driven by radiology. Radiology is now a series of different tests that take pictures or images of various parts of the body, allowing doctors to visualise the inside of a body. The objectives of the Section of Radiology are defined as follows: The study, promotion and harmonisation of the highest level of training of the medical specialists, medical practice and health care within the European Union in Radiology. The study and promotion of free movement of radiologists within the EU. In compliance with UEMS Statutes, Strategy and Policies and under the aegis of the UEMS Executive, the representation to EU authorities and any other authority and/or organisation dealing with questions directly or indirectly concerning the medical specialists of the discipline covered by the Section, and any action which might further the achievement of the afore mentioned objectives.
