About the journal
Abdominal Imaging is designed for prompt publication of original articles dealing with clinical radiology of abdominal disorders, including the alimentary tract and the genitourinary system. The journal's intent is to provide an international and unique source of information to physicians interested in these fields. Diagnostic radiology, including conventional techniques, ultrasound, computed tomography, MR imaging, nuclear medicine, and interventional procedures is emphasized; submission of related pathologic, surgical and clinical material is encouraged. Emphasis and preference are given to material which can be applied directly to the diagnosis and management of patients.
To better fulfill the journal's aims and to contribute to further development of the specialty, the Journal has been organized in collaboration with a group of eminent and experienced radiologists, pathologists and surgeons from all over the world. The Journal publishes original papers, case reports, technical and instrumental notes, and invited review articles. A separate section contains abstracts of selected papers from the current literature. Reviews of books or monographs and announcements about national or international associations and conferences related to abdominal radiology are published.
The journal assures expeditious review of submitted manuscripts and prompt notification of the authors.
Instructions to Authors
These instructions have been revised in accordance with the "Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals," established by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors. (For a complete version of the Committee's guidelines, see JAMA 1993, 269:2282-2286)

Preparation of Manuscripts
Papers should be submitted in English. They should be typed on one side of standard-sized white bond paper, with double-spacing and wide margins throughout. Three manuscript pages are roughly equal to one printed page (approximately 900 words). Pages should be numbered consecutively, and each element of the manuscript should begin on a new page.
The journal strongly encourages authors to submit electronically prepared manuscripts. Disks should be submitted in addition to the usual number of hardcopies. The paper version should exactly match the magnetic version. There are no particular software requirements (i.e., authors are encouraged to work in the software of their choice). Disks should be clearly labeled with both software and hardware information--e.g., Was the file saved as an ASCII file/in WordPerfect 5.1/in Word 6.0? Was the work done on an Apple Macintosh/an IBM compatible/a Sun workstation?
The following elements should be included in the order listed below:
Title page. The first page should include: the title of the paper with a shortened version to be used for page headings (not to exceed 40 characters); the complete names, institutional affiliations, and highest academic degrees of all authors; the name and place of the institution at which the work was done; disclaimers, if any; the complete name and mailing address (include telephone and fax numbers and e-mail address) of the corresponding author; along with the name and address of the author to whom offprint requests should be addressed.
Second title page. The second title page should include only the title, without the authors' names. This page will be used in the review process.
Abstract. Each article should be prefaced by an abstract. Major articles must include a structured abstract of not more than 200 words; Case Reports and Technical Notes should include an unstructured abstract, of not more than 60 words. Structured abstracts should consist of four paragraphs under the following headings:
|
Background: A precise statement of the primary focus of the study and the context in which it was carried out.
|
|
|
Methods: How the study was performed, including details of clinical and/or technical procedures.
|
|
|
Results: The salient results of the study. Conclusions: The conclusions and their clinical application. Equal emphasis should be given to positive and negative findings of equal scientific merit.
|
|
Key words. Five or six key words should be listed.
Text. The text should begin with an untitled introduction that conveys the nature and purpose of the work, and quotes the relevant literature. Details of clinical and technical procedures should follow under the heading Materials and Methods. Present results concisely in the Results section, and explain the results (How do they relate to work done by other authors? What is their significance for clinical practice?) in the Discussion section.
Within these sections, use ample subheadings. If footnotes are needed, they should be placed at the end of the page to which they apply and numbered consecutively throughout the article. Avoid abbreviations in the title and abstract. The full term for which an abbreviation stands should precede its first use in the text. Use Systè~e International (SI) units for all hematologic and clinical chemistry measurements, metric units or their decimal multiples, and degrees Celsius.
Tables. All tabulated data identified as tables should be given a table number and a descriptive caption. Tables should be typed (double spaced) on separate sheets. Place explanatory matter in footnotes, using the following sequence of symbols: *, õ, ? || ...
Illustrations. Line drawings, radiographs, and photographs should be submitted as positive prints on glossy paper. Arrows, letters, and numbers added to figures should be of professional quality and in proportion to the overall size of the figure. Generally, figures will be sized to fit one column (8.1 cm) or will be arranged in combination with related figures. Color illustrations. Color can be used without charge for the electronic edition of the journal but will appear in the printed version of the journal at the author's expense: $1150 for the first page and $575 for each additional page within the same article.
Figures should be numbered consecutively according to the order in which they have been first cited in the text. The name of the senior author, the figure number, and the top of the figure should be marked on the back of all art. Brief legends to the figures should be typed on a separate page. Legends to histologic/microscopic illustrations should include the stain and magnification used. (Note: Authors must guarantee that the reproduction of illustrations in which a patient is recognizable is either approved by the patient him/herself or his/her legal representative.)
Acknowledgments. Acknowledgments of collaboration or preparation; financial or material support; and financial relationships that may pose a conflict of interest should be included on a page following the text. (Note: Authors are responsible for obtaining written permission from persons acknowledged by name.)
References. Within the text, references should be cited in numerical order, in brackets (e.g., [1, 4-7]).

Reprints. Reprints (in multiples of 100) may be ordered from the publisher when the corresponding author returns corrected page proofs.
Copyright
Submission of a manuscript implies: that the work described has not been published before (except in the form of an abstract or as a published lecture, review, or thesis); that it is not under consideration elsewhere; that its publication has been approved by all coauthors, if any, as well as by the responsible authorities at the institute where the work has been carried out; that, if and when the manuscript is accepted for publication, the authors agree to automatic transfer of the copyright to the publisher; that the manuscript will not be published elsewhere in any language without the written consent of the copyright holders; that written permission of the copyright holder is obtained by the authors for material used from other copyrighted sources; and that any costs associated with obtaining this permission are the authors' responsibility.
The manuscript must be accompanied by a cover letter stating that the work qualifies for submission as defined above. If any part of the work has been published or submitted elsewhere, or if there are financial or other relationships that might lead to a conflict of interest, this information should be explained in the letter. Copies of any permissions to reproduce published material and signed statements of consent should be sent with the manuscript.
Guidelines for Electronically Produced Illustrations for Print
General
Send illustrations separately from the text (i.e. files should not be integrated with the text files). Always send printouts of all illustrations.
Vector (line) Graphics
Vector graphics exported from a drawing program should be stored in EPS format.
Suitable drawing program: Adobe Illustrator. For simple line art the following drawing programs are also acceptable: Corel Draw, Freehand, Canvas.
No rules narrower than .25 pt.
No gray screens paler than 15% or darker than 60%.
Screens meant to be differentiated from one another must differ by at least 15%.
Spreadsheet/Presentation Graphics
Most presentation programs (Excel, PowerPoint, Freelance) produce data that cannot be stored in an EPS format. Therefore graphics produced by these programs cannot be used for print.
Halftone Illustrations
Black & white and color illustrations should be saved in TIFF format.
Illustrations should be created using Adobe Photoshop whenever possible.
Scans*
Scanned reproductions of black and white photographs should be provided as 300 ppi TIFF files.
Scanned color illustrations should be provided as TIFF files scanned at a minimum of 300 ppi with a 24-bit color depth.
Line art should be provided as TIFF files at 600 ppi.
* We do prefer having the original art as our printers have drum scanners which allow for better reproduction of critical medical halftones.
Graphics from Videos
Separate files should be prepared for frames from a video that are to be printed in the journal. When preparing these files you should follow the same rules as listed under Halftone Illustrations.
Guidelines for Electronically Produced Illustrations for ONLINE
Video
Quicktime (.mov) is the preferred format, but .rm, .avi, .mpg, etc. are acceptable.
No video file should be larger than 2MB. To decrease the size of your file, consider changing one or more of the following variables: frame speed, number of colors/greys, viewing size (in pixels), or compression. Video is subject to Editorial review and approval.
