The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Radiologists (RANZCR) is the leading professional organisation for the promotion of the science and practice of the medical specialties of clinical radiology (diagnostic and interventional radiology) and radiation oncology in Australia and New Zealand. The College has members throughout the world. RANZCR provides the educational curricula for medical graduates training to enter the specialties. RANZCR is independent of universities and is scrutinised and externally accredited against industry standards by the Australian Medical Council (AMC) 〔Assessing specialist medical education and training. Australian Medical Council http://www.amc.org.au/accreditation/medical-education (3/4/15)〕〔Specialist medical college accreditation reports: Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Radiologists, 2012. Australian Medical Council http://www.amc.org.au/accreditation/medical-education/accreditation-reports (3/4/15)〕 The official journal of the College is the Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Oncology. == History == Very soon after the discovery of X-rays in 1895, and radium in 1896, members of the fledgling specialties of radiology and radiation therapy had begun practising across Australia and New Zealand.〔Ryan et al. Australasian Radiology: A History. McGraw-Hill: Sydney, 1995〕 In 1935, the Australian and New Zealand Association of Radiology was formed, with the purposes of setting minimum standards of training and conduct, stimulating interest in research, and otherwise enhancing the prestige and professionalism of the specialties. The Association was the third professional medical body to be formed in Australia. In 1949 the Association became the College of Radiologists (Australia and New Zealand). Further name changes followed in 1952 (College of Radiologists of Australasia), 1972 (Royal Australasian College of Radiologists) and 1997 (The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Radiologists). The RANZCR head office was for many years located in rooms on Macquarie Street, Sydney. Larger premises were purchased in Lower Fort Street, the Rocks, Sydney, in 1977 where the College head office remained until its move to 51 Druitt Street, Sydney, in 1997. The College’s New Zealand offices are located in Wellington. RANZCR remains the peak body in Australia and New Zealand for practitioners of clinical radiology and radiation oncology, and continues to pursue the purposes of excellence in training, research and medical professionalism.〔Tate AP.
