What SERAM - Sociedad Española de Radiología Médica does

SERAM (Sociedad Española de Radiología Médica) is the official professional medical society for radiologists in Spain, founded in 1912 and headquartered at Calle Alcalá 135, 1º, Madrid. The society serves practicing radiologists, radiology residents (MIR), and related medical professionals through educational, scientific, and professional development services. Its primary members include attending radiologists and radiology residents in Spanish hospitals and clinics who require continuing medical education, subspecialty training, scientific publication venues, and professional representation; secondary audiences include referring physicians and patients seeking imaging-related information.

SERAM's core offerings include the peer-reviewed scientific journal Revista Radiología (founded 1912, published bimonthly in Spanish and English, indexed in Medline, EMBASE, and the Emerging Sources Citation Index, with Impact Factor 1.5 in Q3 as of 2026), the Formación SERAM-FERM e-learning platform at aula.formacion.seram.es, the Espacio Editorial Virtual (EEV) for critical literature analysis, and the National Congress (39th edition scheduled for 2028). Additional products include scholarships and grants (Becas y Ayudas), the Liga de Casos Clínicos residents' clinical case competition, the RedRad collaboration network, the Piper SERAM case platform, an electronic posters system, an awards program (Premios y Medallas), and a repository of professional guidelines and consent documents. The society maintains 12+ subspecialty sections covering major radiology domains.

SERAM is organized as a nonprofit professional association under Spanish law (legal name SOCIEDAD ESPAÑOLA DE RADIOLOGÍA MÉDICA, CIF G28214856) and is governed by an elected Junta Directiva. Revenue is generated through membership fees, course and congress registration, publication sales, and sponsorships from medical imaging and pharmaceutical companies (GE Healthcare, Philips, Siemens Healthineers, Bayer, Canon, Guerbet, Agfa, Fujifilm, Rovi, and others) administered via the CTEI (Technical Executive and Industrial Committee). The wholly-owned Fundación Española de Radiología (FERM) manages educational and research activities. SERAM holds executive committee representation in the International Society of Radiology (ISR) and offers the SERAM-AIRP International Radiologic-Pathologic Correlation Course as a strategic partnership with the American Institute of Radiologic Pathology. The organization has 59 employees.

Expansion highlights6 records

Regional players

• Società Italiana di Radiologia Medica e Interventistica (SIRM): Italian national radiology society with congresses, journals (La Radiologia Medica), and subspecialty sections that mirror SERAM's structure; comparable on model but operating in Italy, a non-overlapping geography.
• Royal College of Radiologists (RCR): UK professional radiology body offering training, examinations, and clinical standards; comparable to SERAM as a national college, but operating in a different national market with overlapping curriculum and congress offerings.
• Deutsche Röntgengesellschaft (DRG): German Radiological Society, a comparable national radiology body in Europe's largest healthcare market, running its own congress (Deutscher Röntgenkongress) and subspecialty structure analogous to SERAM's 12 sections.
• Japanese Radiological Society (JRS): Japan's principal radiology society publishing the Japanese Journal of Radiology and running a major annual congress — a non-overlapping geographic peer that exemplifies the national-society model SERAM follows.
• Colegio Interamericano de Radiología (CIR): Latin American radiology federation bringing together national societies across Spanish-speaking countries; directly relevant as a Spanish-language peer network that could either partner with or compete for SERAM's international Spanish-language content.

Direct peers

• European Society of Radiology (ESR): Pan-European radiology society offering congresses (ECR), journals (European Radiology), education, and subspecialty structure that parallels SERAM's mission at a wider geographic scope, competing for Spanish radiologist attention and sponsorship dollars.
• Société Française de Radiologie (SFR): French national radiology society running the Journées Françaises de Radiologie congress, the Journal de Radiologie Diagnostique et Interventionnelle, and continuing education — a near-direct functional twin of SERAM in the neighboring French market.

Others

• International Society of Radiology (ISR): Global federation of which SERAM is itself a member, providing international collaboration and standards. Listed as a peer due to its umbrella role over national societies and overlapping remit in radiology policy and education.

Broad incumbents

• American College of Radiology (ACR): US national radiology college providing accreditation, practice guidelines, continuing education, and quality programs that structurally mirror SERAM's standards, guidelines, and Formación SERAM-FERM activities at a larger scale.
• Radiological Society of North America (RSNA): The largest global radiology society, operating the RSNA Annual Meeting, Radiology and RadioGraphics journals, and online education resources that compete with SERAM's congress and journal offerings for member engagement and sponsorship share.
