SKELETAL RADIOLOGY

Skeletal Radiology the official organ of the International Skeletal Society serves as a forum for the dissemination of current knowledge and information dealing with disorders of the musculoskeletal system including the spine. Although the radiological aspects of the many varied skeletal abnormalities are emphasized the journal also adopts an interdisciplinary approach reflecting the membership of the International Skeletal Society. Thus the anatomical pathological physiological clinical metabolic and epidemiological aspects of the many entities affecting the skeleton each receive appropriate consideration. The format of the journal consists of two principal sections. One section approximately one third of the journal includes a number of short case presentations including histological sections where relevant and a bibliography of the important references. Many of the cases published are selected from the extensive repertoire of material presented at the annual meetings of the International Skeletal Society at which members of the society present a series of interesting and instructive proved cases over a three day weekend meeting. In addition case reports from nonmembers of the Society are published if considered suitable as determined by the Editor of the section. Nonmembers therefore are encouraged to send such cases for editorial consideration. The published cases in this section are selected carefully not only for their esoteric qualities but even more importantly for their inherent value as teaching and hopefully learning exercises.The second section which is approximately two thirds of the journal is more traditional being concerned with the publication of proffered articles. Their selection is made by the editors-in-chief who have the input of a distinguished board of editorial consultants international in scope representing multiple disciplines concerned with disorders of the skeleton. Although emphasis is placed on manuscripts of a radiological interest articles submitted in inter-related disciplines are encouraged. It is also stressed that material dealing with all phases of radiology is welcomed. Thus in addition to conventional diagnostic radiology proffered subject material may cover nuclear radiology computerized axial tomography and magnetic resonance imaging where applicable.

骨骼放射学是国际骨骼学会的官方机构，是传播包括脊柱在内的肌肉骨骼系统疾病的最新知识和信息的论坛。尽管强调了许多不同骨骼异常的放射学方面，该杂志也采用了反映国际骨骼学会成员的跨学科方法。因此，解剖、病理、生理、临床、代谢和流行病学方面的许多实体影响骨骼得到了适当的考虑。《日刊》的格式由两个主要部分组成。该杂志大约三分之一的部分包括一些简短的病例介绍，包括相关的组织学部分和重要参考文献的参考书目。许多已发表的案例都是从国际骨骼学会年度会议上提交的大量材料中挑选出来的。在为期三天的周末会议上，该学会的成员提交了一系列有趣且有启发性的已证实案例。此外，如果编辑认为合适，也会发布来自非协会成员的案例报告。因此，我们鼓励非会员将此类案件提交编辑部考虑。本节所发表的案例都是经过精心挑选的，不仅因为它们深奥难懂，更重要的是它们作为教学和学习练习的内在价值。第二部分约占《日刊》的三分之二，是比较传统的有关发表所提供文章的部分。他们的选择是由总编决定的，总编有一个杰出的国际编辑顾问委员会的投入，其范围涉及与骨骼失调有关的多个学科。虽然强调的是在相互关联的学科提交的放射学兴趣文章的手稿是受到鼓励的。委员会还强调，欢迎处理放射学所有阶段的材料。因此，除了传统的诊断放射学提供的主题材料可能包括核放射学计算机轴向断层摄影和核磁共振成像(如适用)。
