The Journal of Neuroradiology is well established among other journals in the fields of neuroradiology, radiology and clinical neurosciences that provide precise and rigorous information on diagnostic and interventional neuroradiology. Indeed, the Journal offers an opportunity to submit original articles, reviews, technical notes and letters to the editors (correspondence section) in English language provided that the methodology and scientific content are of good quality, and that the results will have substantial clinical impact and/or physiological importance. Over the past three years, the impact factor of the Journal has been consistently above 1.000 (1.203 in 2010). The new Editorial Board will continue working to increase the impact of the Journal in the field of neuroradiology and, more generally, the clinical neurosciences. To further increase the Journal's impact and to make its full content even more widely accessible, the decision was taken to exclusively accept peer-reviewed papers in English from now on (see guide to authors). Considering English as the official language of the Journal of Neuroradiology means that contributions in the area of neuroradiology will be easily accessible to all neuroradiologists around the world. Another change is that case reports will no longer be accepted for publication from May 1st, 2012. However, as they may have an influence on our everyday clinical practices, a place will be provided for technical notes reporting on, for example, the improvement of currently used imaging sequences or new MR sequences, or novel approaches in the field of interventional neuroradiology. Nevertheless, to remain a major forum for the most up-to-date insights in the area of diagnostic and interventional neuroradiology, the Editorial team of the Journal of Neuroradiology invites you to submit on this website your high-quality and informative papers in order to make an important contribution to improve our clinical practice, and to communicate on novel concepts, methods and approaches.

The application of theoretical and practical physics to medicine, physiology and biology. Topics covered are:

• therapy physics (including ionizing and non-ionizing radiation)
• biomedical imaging (e.g. x-ray, magnetic resonance, ultrasound, optical and nuclear imaging)
• image-guided interventions
• image reconstruction and analysis (including kinetic modelling)
• artificial intelligence in biomedical physics and analysis
• nanoparticles in imaging and therapy
• radiobiology
• radiation protection and patient dose monitoring
• radiation dosimetry

Papers on physics with no obvious medical or biological applications, or papers which are almost entirely clinical or biological in their approach are not acceptable.

The objective of the journal is to provide practical information of immediate relevance to workers in clinical laboratories. The primary scope of the journal covers clinical chemistry, hematology, molecular biology and genetics relevant to laboratory medicine, microbiology, immunology, therapeutic drug monitoring and toxicology, laboratory management and informatics.

We welcome papers which describe critical evaluations of biomarkers and their role in the diagnosis and treatment of clinically significant disease, validation of commercial and in-house IVD methods, method comparisons, interference reports, the development of new reagents and reference materials, reference range studies and regulatory compliance reports. Manuscripts describing the development of new methods applicable to laboratory medicine (including point-of-care testing) are particularly encouraged, even if preliminary or small scale.

While novel or innovative work is preferred, papers of a confirmatory nature will also be considered if they are scientifically and technically valid and relevant to important topics.
