TheSlovenian Association of Radiology (SAR) was founded in 1950, as Slovene Section of Rentgenology and Nuclear Medicine. Since the beginning it has served as a forum for radiologists to collectively voice common concerns and professional interests. Its purpose is to promote and develop the highest standards of radiology, to exchange scientific information in all fields of radiology and related sciences through patient care, education and research. The SAR is governed by the President, the Executive Board, and the General Assembly.The Slovenian Association of Radiology is the official educational and scientific association of Slovene radiologists.
The articles of Association define the structure and constitution of the Society the regulations and provide guidelines. The Slovenian Association of Radiologyseeks to foster closer fellowship and greater cooperation among all radiologists who share their scientific knowledge and administrative abilities.
The aim of the SAR is to promote close cooperation among radiologists with other international radiological societies and especially in neighboring countries to promote common educational and research programs as for example (Alpe Adria Radiological Group).Since the first meeting in Dobrna(Slovenia) in 1968, radiologists from the university radiological departments of Trieste, Padua, Verona, Graz, Ljubljana in Zagreb have been meeting in one of the neighboring countries to share their research and scientific experiences annually.
The Slovenian Association of Radiology has been publishingin English the Journal of Radiology and Oncology in quarterly issues covering all technical and clinical aspects of diagnostic imaging, nuclear medicine, oncology, radiation protection and interventional radiology.The history of the publishing of this radiological-oncological journal in Ljubljana dates back to the year 1964, when the first issue of Radiologia Iugoslavica was published. Despite the war on the territory of former Yugoslavia, in 1992, its 26th volume appeared under the new title Radiology and Oncology. Recently our journal has been indexed and abstracted by Science Citation Index Expanded (SciSearch®).
