Manuscript Preparation Overview

Authors are advised to review several recently published articles in RadioGraphics to familiarize themselves with RadioGraphics format and requirements. In addition, authors are encouraged to read the Special Report from the January 2012 issue of the Journal, an editorial that explains the peer review process and writing of manuscripts for RadioGraphics, and the CME Question Writing Guidelines (PDF).

The manuscript should be submitted in four separate document files, each of which contains specified sections in a specified order:

The organization of the manuscript will depend on the purpose and scope of the material. Every manuscript should contain an introduction and a conclusion or summary. The introduction should state the objectives of the article, give any background information necessary to understand why the topic is important, and briefly describe the subtopics covered. The summary should give the conclusions of the authors and briefly recap the important facts. We recommend that authors for whom English is not their native language seek assistance from an English-speaking colleague to ensure that the words convey the intended meaning both accurately and clearly.
