Chinese Journal of Academic Radiology is a quarterly international journal publishing high-quality peer-reviewed research in the field of imaging basic and clinical practice. Imaging techniques include radiography, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), nuclear medicine, optical imaging, ultrasound and image-guided interventional techniques. Articles include both clinical and translational research, showing the pathway from laboratory discovery to clinical application. We also encourage the submission of articles on data science as it pertains to radiology. Contents of this peer-reviewed journal include original articles, review (including pictorial review), editorials, short communications, technical note and letters to the editor. Chinese Journal of Academic Radiology as a valuable showcase provides an opportunity for the exchange of Chinese and world information for imaging research. With this journal, we believe that it has ability to enhance mutual exchange with China and other countries in the process of radiological research development.
