Accessed 24 Sep. 2018.] "The British Institute of Radiology (BIR) is a radiology society and charity based in London, United Kingdom. It is the oldest institute of its kind in the world, forming on 2 April 1897. The society can be traced back to two separate institutes, 'The X-Ray Society' in April, 1897, and 'The Röntgen Society'; both were formed in the wake of the discovery of x-rays by Wilhelm Röntgen in 1895. The latter was founded by Dr John McIntyre in 1897. He had been the first person in Britain to use x-rays, using equipment created by William Thomson, Lord Kelvin at Glasgow Royal Infirmary on 5 February 1896. The formalization of the BIR occurred in 1927 upon the merger of the two societies. The BIR became a registered charity in 1963." [SOURCE: "British Institute of Radiology."
