About the Jordanian Radiological Society

The Jordanian Radiological Society (JRS) brings together over 650 radiologists, trainees, and imaging professionals from the public, private, and military sectors, forming one of the region’s most active radiology communities. JRS continues to advance medical imaging through education, scientific exchange, and strong regional collaborations.

In 2026, JRS will host the 15th International Congress of the Jordanian Radiological Society in conjunction with the 14th PAARS International Congress, taking place April 15–18, 2026 at The St. Regis Amman, Jordan. Under the theme “Breaking Borders in Radiology: AI and Global Trends,” the congress reaffirms JRS’s commitment to innovation, professional development, and elevating radiology practice across the Arab world.

Together, we build a stronger radiology community that leads with knowledge, compassion, and innovation.
