Affiliated Groups Overview

In addition to their College affiliation, many RANZCR Members specialising in particular fields have strong affiliations with professional societies and groups. The RANZCR website, Inside View, is happy to host the websites of the following societies and groups:

The International Radiology Quality Network (IRQN), a network of organisations in a number of countries, was formed in March 2002 to promote quality in radiology through collaboration, experience sharing and mutual assistance.
The Interventional Radiology Society of Australasia (IRSA) was established in 1995, from the Interventional Radiology special interest group of the College. IRSA members are mainly Radiologists but Interventionalists are now drawn from a wide range of specialities such as Vascular Surgery, Cardiology and Neurosurgery. IRSA draws its membership from Interventionalists across Australia and New Zealand, as well as from Asia, North America and Europe.
The Trans-Tasman Radiation Oncology Group (TROG) is Australia and New Zealand's specialist clinical research group for radiotherapy. A significant proportion of the Faculty of Radiation Oncology's Members are also members of TROG, which is a cooperative multidisciplinary organisation dedicated to the control of a wide range of cancers through quality multicentre research.
The Australian New Zealand Society of Neuroradiology (ANZSNR) is a professional society of Radiologists specializing in the field of neuroradiology.
The Australian Musculoskeletal Society Imaging Group provides a forum for the professional development of musculoskeletal imaging in Australia and New Zealand. The group is also active in promoting education in musculoskeletal imaging, liaison with other similar groups internationally and provides representation on various government bodies.

Unnecessary CT Scans
Dr Matthew Andrews, President of RANZCR has endorsed the concerns raised by Dr Tony Webber, Director of Medicare’s Professional Services Review, about the inappropriate use of CT scans.

However, Dr Andrews said that this concern about CT should not be about blaming doctors. He said that Radiologists are always concerned to minimise all risks including radiation risks to patients from ionising imaging examinations;
