The Western Neuroradiological Society (WNRS) was
founded at its first meeting on the campus of the University of California,
Los Angeles on November 2, 1968 at the instigation of Dr. Gabriel H. Wilson
with the support of 32 founding members. Early meetings were in affiliation
with The Federation of Western Societies of Neurologic Science but the first
of the independent meetings was held in 1972. There were only two membership
requirements in the original bylaws; radiology board certification in the US
or Canada and an active interest in neuroradiology. Through the years as the
membership has grown, criteria have changed and now
include one year of neuroradiology fellowship, and neuroradiology as the primary subspecialty. The WNRS geographic boundaries are defined as the states of Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Washington, Wyoming, the Canadian provinces of Alberta and British Columbia, and Mexico.
The annual meeting, usually held in early October, is regarded by our members
as having a warmth conducive to productive and pleasant exchange of
scientific information. In the future, the Society will continue to become
an even more important force in the exchange of scientific information and
in the development of worthwhile friendships among neuroradiologists in the
West.
