• To foster continuing improvement of chest radiology as an art and science.
• To improve the methods of teaching radiologic diagnosis of chest disease.
• To stimulate research in chest roentgenology.
• To promote closer fellowship among, and exchange of ideas between members of the profession whose major interests lie in the chest.
• To provide meetings for the reading and discussion of papers, and dissemination of knowledge.
