BMC Gastroenterology is an open access, peer-reviewed journal that considers articles on all aspects of the prevention, diagnosis and management of gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary disorders, as well as related molecular genetics, pathophysiology, and epidemiology.
The Journal name has been changed from Abdominal Imaging to Abdominal Radiology as it seeks to meet the professional needs of all abdominal radiologists by publishing clinically pertinent original, review, and practice related articles. Interventional radiology applications to the abdomen continue to grow—underscoring the growing role of abdominal radiologists to not only diagnose but also to treat various abnormalities and conditions. Abdominal Radiology includes the gastrointestinal tract (hollow and solid organs), genitourinary tract (kidneys, ureters, bladder and pelvic imaging) and abdominal interventional radiologic procedures. As the official journal of the Society of Abdominal Radiology (SAR) it is aligned with the mission and vision of the Society. The Journal seeks international readers and authors and has recently affiliated with both the Asian Society of Abdominal Radiology (ASAR) and the European Society of Gastrointestinal Radiology (ESGAR). High quality, clinically pertinent submissions that serve the entire abdominal radiology community at large are sought for publication.
