American College of Radiology (ACR) - The 36,000 members of the American College of Radiology include radiologists, radiation oncologists, medical physicists, interventional radiologists, nuclear medicine physicians and allied health professionals. For over three quarters of a century, the ACR has devoted its resources to making imaging safe, effective and accessible to those who need it.
American Roentgen Ray Society (ARRS) -
The American Roentgen Ray Society, founded in 1900, is the first and oldest radiology society in the United States. The society has been a forum for progress in radiology since shortly after the discovery of the X-ray and is dedicated to the goal of the advancement of medicine through the science of radiology and its allied sciences. The goal of the ARRS is maintained through an annual scientific and educational meeting and through publication of the American Journal of Roentgenology.
The annual meeting consists of instructional courses, scientific paper presentations, forum, scientific exhibits, and commercial exhibits. A special categorical course is also offered. Category 1 CME credits are available on an hour-for-hour basis. All members of the Society may attend the annual meeting with discounted payment of the general registration fee.
The monthly American Journal of Roentgenology (AJR) is a highly respected peer-reviewed journal with a worldwide circulation of more than 25,000. For almost 100 years the AJR has been recognized as one of the best specialty journals in the world.
The quarterly ARRS InPractice magazine keeps members informed of annual meeting plans and general Society information.
The Society invests in the future of radiology by awarding scholarships and awards to deserving individuals.

The Illinois Radiological Society (IRS) is a Chapter of the American College of Radiology (ACR). Membership includes radiologists, radiation oncologists, medical physicists, interventional radiologists and nuclear medicine physicians.
The IRS is comprised of two divisions: the Chicago Radiological Society (CRS), covering Chicago and its suburbs, and the Central Illinois Radiological Society (CIRS) covering the balance of the state. The State is divided about two thirds in the CRS and one third in the CIRS. Leadership is divided along the same lines.
Radiological Society of North America -
The Radiological Society of North America (RSNA®) is an international society of radiologists, medical physicists and other medical professionals with more than 51,000 members across the globe.
