Aims and scope
Abdominal Radiology serves the professional and academic needs of abdominal radiologists by publishing clinically relevant original research, systematic reviews, and practice-oriented articles. The journal also plays a leading role in advancing the field by featuring emerging technologies and methodologies with demonstrated applications in abdominal imaging.
The journal covers the full spectrum of abdominal imaging, including the gastrointestinal and genitourinary systems (hollow and solid organs, kidneys, ureters, bladder, and pelvic imaging), as well as abdominal interventional radiologic procedures. Research that enhances diagnostic accuracy, optimizes patient care, and improves clinical workflows is strongly encouraged.
To ensureAbdominal Radiology remains at the forefront of innovation, we actively seek contributions that address the following evolving areas:
- Advanced Imaging Technologies: Research on artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and radiomics to enhance image interpretation, predictive analytics, and diagnostic efficiency in abdominal imaging.
- Precision Medicine and Imaging Biomarkers: Studies focusing on imaging-guided personalized treatment planning, early disease detection, and therapeutic response monitoring.
- Patient-Centered Innovation: Investigations into scanner design improvements, reduced scan times, radiation dose optimization, and methods to enhance the overall patient experience.
- Interdisciplinary Collaboration: Cross-specialty research integrating radiology with gastroenterology, oncology, hepatology, and urology to enhance disease diagnosis, staging, and management.
- Educational Innovations: Novel methodologies, including simulation-based training and modern educational approaches, to enhance the training of the next generation of radiologists.
The journal welcomes contributions from multidisciplinary teams and encourages submissions that address evidence-based imaging guidelines, comparative effectiveness research, and technical advancements directly impacting patient outcomes. Case reports are generally not accepted unless they introduce a previously unreported disease or condition or are part of a special solicited section.
