MISSION STATEMENT

The mission of AJNR is to further knowledge in all aspects of neuroimaging, head and neck imaging, and spine imaging for neuroradiologists, radiologists, trainees, scientists, and associated professionals through print and/or electronic publication of quality peer-reviewed articles that lead to the highest standards in patient care, research, and education and to promote discussion of these and other issues through its electronic activities.

VISION STATEMENT

AJNR will continue to be internationally recognized as the primary source of information regarding all aspects of neuroimaging, including head and neck and spine imaging, for all professionals engaged in these and related fields. Continued optimization of delivery will enable the journal to enhance patient care, research, therapy, training, and life-long learning.
