About the Jordanian Radiological Society

The Jordanian Radiological Society (JRS) brings together 285 radiologists, trainees, and imaging professionals from the public sector, private hospitals, and the Royal Medical Services, forming a unified community dedicated to advancing medical imaging in Jordan. Since its establishment, the society has organized nine national radiology congresses and two Arab Federation congresses, fostering continuous education, scientific exchange, and regional collaboration. This year, from 10–13 September, JRS will host its 10th Annual Congress alongside the 3rd Arab Federation Congress, further strengthening its role as a leading platform for professional development and innovation in radiology.

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