Scope
- The stated mission is to publish the best peer-reviewed educational material in radiology, with emphasis on content first presented at the annual meeting of the RSNA.期刊公开的使命是发表放射学领域最优秀的同行评议教学材料,并优先收录最初在北美放射学会年会上展示的内容。
- Articles are built around pictorial essays, using high-quality multimodality images and limited prose to teach pattern recognition rather than report new primary research.文章以图谱式论述为主体,借助高质量多模态图像与精炼文字训练读片模式识别,而非报告新的原创研究。
- Content is organised by subspecialty, with standing sections in gastrointestinal, genitourinary, chest, cardiac, musculoskeletal, breast, pediatric, neurologic and multisystem radiology.内容按亚专业编排,设有胃肠、泌尿生殖、胸部、心脏、肌骨、乳腺、儿科、神经与多系统放射学等固定栏目。
- Practice Policy and Quality Initiatives, Informatics and Imaging Physics sections address workflow, artificial intelligence deployment and protocol optimisation.实践政策与质量改进、信息学以及影像物理栏目讨论工作流程、人工智能部署与扫描协议优化。
- Education Corner covers training and curriculum topics, while Radiology-Pathology Collection articles pair imaging findings with histologic correlation.教育角栏目讨论培训与课程议题,放射—病理合集类文章则将影像表现与组织学所见相互对照。
- Many articles are accompanied by invited commentaries, visual abstracts, test-your-knowledge quizzes and continuing medical education credit.许多文章配有特邀评论、可视化摘要、自测题以及继续医学教育学分。
History
- William J. Tuddenham, the RSNA editor of educational materials, proposed the journal in 1980 after noticing that radiologists could not see every teaching exhibit at the annual meeting.1980 年,负责教育材料的北美放射学会编辑 William J. Tuddenham 提出办刊设想,起因是参会者无法看完全部教学展板。
- The first issue appeared in May 1981 as a quarterly, and the journal moved to a bimonthly schedule in 1984.首期于 1981 年 5 月以季刊形式问世,1984 年改为双月刊。
