"The mission of the ACR is to serve patients and society by maximizing the value of radiology, radiation oncology, interventional radiology, nuclear medicine and medical physics by advancing the science of radiology, improving the quality of patient care, positively influencing the socioeconomics of the practice of radiology, providing continuing education for radiology and allied health professions and conducting research for the future of radiology."

"The ABR is a Not For Profit organization and is one of 24 national medical specialty boards that make up the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS). Through ABMS, the boards work together to establish common standards for physicians to achieve and maintain board certification. The boards were founded by their respective specialties to protect the public by assessing and certifying doctors who meet specific educational, training, and professional requirements. The ABR is an independent, not-for-profit organization. For more information about ABMS, visit www.abms.org."

"The Academy of Radiology Research is an alliance of 28 professional imaging societies. Established in 1995, the Academy was the catalyst for creating the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB), for supporting its growth and development, for accelerating investment in vital imaging research areas by other NIH institutes, and for building support for radiology and imaging in Congress and the Executive Branch. The Academy is the umbrella organization to the Coalition for Imaging and Bioengineering Research (CIBR) and the Academic Council (ARRAC)."

"The Radiological Society of Louisiana is the Louisiana state chapter of the American College of Radiology. We have been representing radiologists, radiation oncologists, and radiation physicists in Louisiana since 1955. We currently represent over 400 members."

The American Society of Radiologic Technologists is the premier professional association of people working in medical imaging and radiation therapy.

The vision statement of the International Society of Radiographers and Radiologic Technologists is "To be the leading international organisation representing the practice of medical imaging and radiation therapy technology by promoting the highest achievable standards of patient care and professional practice".

The American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) is the world’s largest credentialing organization that seeks to ensure high quality patient care in medical imaging, interventional procedures, and radiation therapy. We test and certify technologists and administer continuing education and ethics requirements for their annual registration.
