Summary

The College of Radiologists (Australian and New Zealand) succeeded the Australian and New Zealand Association of Radiologists in October 1949, and was itself succeeded by the College of Radiologists of Australasia in 1952. It was the not-for-profit professional organisation for radiologists in Australasia. Aims included the promotion of the science and practice of radiology, and maintaining professional standards. In addition it conducted training and accreditation programs: the first Diploma examinations were conducted in 1953. The Trainor Owen Collection, established in 1967, was the College archive, museum and library: it included materials about the history of the College and its predecessors, and of the practice of radiology in Australia and New Zealand. Inaugurated in 1969, the College's Gold Medal recognises a Fellow who has given outstanding service in the development, teaching or practice of radiology in Australia, New Zealand or Singapore. In 1972 the College received a Royal Warrant and became the Royal Australasian College of Radiologists.
