European Radiology European Radiology is a peer-reviewed journal serving the radiology community in Europe and worldwide, published by the European Society of Radiology and headquartered in Vienna. The journal covers cross-sectional imaging, interventional procedures, and imaging science with emphasis on clinical practice, education, and translational research linking institutions such as Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin, Hôpital Pitié-Salpêtrière, and King's College London. It interfaces with major publishers and indexing services connected to PubMed Central, Scopus, and Clarivate Analytics metrics.

History

Launched in 1991 under the auspices of the European Congress of Radiology and the European Society of Radiology, the journal emerged during a period marked by the expansion of computed tomography centers at institutions like Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust and rapid adoption of magnetic resonance imaging at sites including Karolinska Institutet. Early editorial leadership included figures associated with University of Milan, Gustave Roussy, and Erasmus University Rotterdam, fostering ties to established journals such as Radiology (journal) and American Journal of Roentgenology. Throughout the 1990s and 2000s the journal tracked major policy and technology shifts seen in events like the European Union directives on medical devices and milestones achieved at research centers like Institut Pasteur and Max Planck Society laboratories. Growth in article submissions paralleled the rise of multicenter trials coordinated by networks including European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer.

Organization and Governance

The journal is governed by an editorial board appointed by the European Society of Radiology and works closely with committees affiliated with Royal College of Radiologists, Deutsche Röntgengesellschaft, and the Società Italiana di Radiologia Medica. The editor-in-chief liaises with representatives from academic hospitals such as Hospital Clínic de Barcelona, Helsinki University Hospital, and Radboud University Medical Center. Peer review processes engage reviewers from Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Institut Gustave Roussy, and research groups at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne. Governance aligns with publishing standards promoted by organizations like the Committee on Publication Ethics and indexing criteria from Web of Science.

Clinical Practice and Standards

The journal publishes practice guidelines, consensus statements, and technical standards developed in collaboration with professional bodies such as the European Society of Cardiology, European Thyroid Association, and the European Society of Paediatric Radiology. Clinical topics often reference protocols used at centers including Addenbrooke's Hospital, Saint Thomas' Hospital, and Uppsala University Hospital. Articles address modalities adopted in hospitals like AZ Sint-Jan Brugge-Oostende and Leids Universitair Medisch Centrum, and discuss quality frameworks tied to regulatory instruments from the European Commission and accreditation schemes run by Joint Commission International affiliates.

Education and Training

Educational content links to fellowship and residency standards promoted by the European Board of Radiology, postgraduate curricula at institutions such as Imperial College London and Università di Bologna, and examination pathways administered by bodies like the Royal College of Physicians of Ireland. The journal features teaching files, case reports, and review articles utilized in courses at the European Congress of Radiology and workshops hosted by universities including KU Leuven and University of Zurich. Collaborative training initiatives often involve partnerships with research institutes such as Wellcome Trust-funded centers and the European Molecular Biology Laboratory.

Research and Innovation

Original research published in the journal frequently reports multicenter studies coordinated with consortia like European Molecular Imaging Laboratories and technology partnerships involving companies headquartered in Basel and Munich. Topics span quantitative imaging biomarkers validated against cohorts from University Hospital Leuven, imaging-genomics studies referencing datasets from The Cancer Genome Atlas collaborators, and machine learning applications developed in collaboration with groups at ETH Zurich and École Normale Supérieure. The journal highlights translational projects linked to funding from the Horizon 2020 programme and collaborative grants involving the European Research Council.

Publications and Conferences

In addition to original research and reviews, the journal issues special sections aligned with sessions at the European Congress of Radiology and supplements featuring proceedings from symposia at Royal Society-affiliated venues. Editorial content engages with themes present at meetings held in cities such as Vienna, Barcelona, and Amsterdam. The publication schedule coordinates with conferences organized by national societies including the British Institute of Radiology, Société Française de Radiologie, and Sociedad Española de Radiología Médica.

Regional and National Societies

The journal maintains links with a network of national and regional societies including the Deutsche Röntgengesellschaft, British Institute of Radiology, Società Italiana di Radiologia Medica, Sociedad Española de Radiología Médica, Société Française de Radiologie, Hellenic Society of Radiology, Polish Medical Society Radiology Section, Hungarian Society of Radiology, Nordic Radiology Society, and Association of Radiologists of the Republic of Moldova affiliate groups. Collaborative projects and guideline development frequently involve universities and hospitals such as University of Porto, Vall d'Hebron University Hospital, and St. Antonius Hospital.
