ABSTRACT
Radiology has always been an enigma to the medical world. One of the younger medical specialties in the world, radiology has been in existence for just slightly more than a hundred years. Although relatively young, radiology has progressed so far since Dr Wilhelm Roentgen's discovery of X-ray in 1895. In order to fully realise the width and depth of the College of Radiologists, we must indulge ourselves in its progress and unravel its mystery and enigma. This article seeks to chronicle the development of the Chapter of Radiologists, from its wilderness nascent years to the present College comprising the three separate Chapters, of Diagnostic Radiology, Radiation Oncology and Nuclear Medicine.
The formation of a Chapter of Radiologists was actually mooted back in the early 1970s.The matter was discussed during the Annual General Meeting of the Academy of Medicine, Singapore (AMS) in 1973 and formed in the year 1974 (Table 1).
