About the journal
The inaugural issue of the Korean J Radiol came out in March 2000. Our journal aims to produce and propagate knowledge on radiologic imaging and related sciences.
A unique feature of the articles published in the Journal will be their reflection of global trends in radiology combined with an East-Asian perspective. Geographic differences in disease prevalence will be reflected in the contents of papers, and this will serve to enrich our body of knowledge.
World's outstanding radiologists from many countries are serving as editorial board of our journal.

. CHARACTERISTICS AND CATEGORIES OF MANUSCRIPTS
The Korean Journal of Radiology, the official Englishlanguage journal of the Korean Radiological Society, publishes original contributions valuable to the advancement of medical diagnosis and treatment. Published quarterly in March, June, September, and December, the journal reports clinical and other investigations relating to radiology and its allied sciences, publishing full-length original papers, reviews, pictorial essays, case reports, and letters to the editor. Submitted manuscripts should not contain previously published material and should not be under consideration for publication elsewhere. Guidelines for multiple publication are based on instructions described in the Uniform Requirements for ¡®Manuscript¡¯ Submitted to Biomedical Journals (Ann Intern Med 1988;108:258-265). Manuscript decisions are based on the results of peer review, and to ensure that this is unbiased, reviewers receive manuscripts with blind title pages. Descriptions appearing in each article are the responsibility of the author and not of the Korean Journal of Radiology.
Please write in English. For medical terms such as proper nouns, generic names of medicines, and units of measurement, use the original term. Abbreviation should be minimized. If employed, write the full terminology where it first appears, followed by its abbreviation in parenthesis, using the abbreviation thereafter. Radiation measurements and laboratory values should be in accordance with the International System of Units (SI) (resources: SI Units in Radiation Protection and Measurements, NCRP Report no. 82 [August 1985]; ¡°Now Read This: The SI Units Are Here,¡± JAMA 1986;255:2329-2339. |

3. GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR MAJOR PAPERS
- Abstract:
Use a separate page, and observe a limit of 200 words. Clearly state the objective, materials (or subjects) and methods, results, and conclusion of the study. Include actual data.
2. Introduction:
Briefly describe the purpose of the investigation, including relevant background information.
3. Materials and Methods:
Describe the research plan, the materials (or subjects), and the methods used, in that order. Explain in detail how the disease was confirmed and how subjectivity in observations was controlled. When experimental methodology is the main issue of the paper, describe the process in detail so as to recreate the experiment as closely as possible.
4. Results:
Present these in a clear, logical sequence. Because biometrics involves variations in exact measurements, follow the rule of using statistics when experimentation is described. If tables are used, do not duplicate tabular data in the text, but do describe important trends and points.
5. Discussion:
Observations pertaining to the results of research and other related materials should be interpreted for your readers. Emphasize new and important observations; do not merely repeat the contents of the results. Explain the meaning of the observed opinion along with its limits, and within the limits of the research results connect the conclusion to the purpose of the research. In a concluding paragraph, summarize the results and their meaning.
6. Acknowledgments:
Include here the names of those who contributed substantially to the work described in the manuscript but who have not fulfilled the requirement for authorship. |

When authors with a different address are included, first write the name of the organization where the primary research was conducted and the names of the other organizations along with the authors¡¯ names, listed in numerical order, with the numbering system beginning at the first organization. At the bottom of the title page, write the principal author¡¯s address, phone, fax and email address, and if necessary, state the source of any research funding.
- On the blind title page, write only the title of the manuscript. Do not include the authors¡¯names, or other details

Results:The findings of the methods described in the preceding paragraph are to be presented here, with specific data. All results should flow logically from the methods described.
Conclusion:In one or two sentences, state the conclusion of the study. This must relate directly to the purpose of the papers, as defined in the first paragraph of the abstract.
- Do not use abbreviations or reference citations.
- At the bottom of the abstract, write 3-6 index terms, according to the index words shown in the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) index to imaging literature.
