The Iranian Journal of Radiology (IJR) is published quarterly by the Tehran University of Medical Sciences and Iranian Society of Radiology.

IJR is a scientific forum dedicated primarily to the topics relevant to radiology and allied sciences of the developing countries, which have been neglected or have received little attention in the Western medical literature.

Manuscripts would be particularly welcome which deal with radiology and imaging from geographic regions wherein problems regarding economical, social, ethnic and cultural parameters affecting prevalence and course of the illness are taken into consideration.

Quality Policy of IJR According to ISO 9001: 2000
The Iranian Journal of Radiology has been launched in order to interchange information in the field of radiology and other related scientific spheres. In accordance with the objective of developing the scientific ability of the radiological population and other related scientific fields, this journal publishes research articles, evidence based review articles and case reports focused on regional tropics.
Based on the mentioned objectives, IJR operates in agreement with the below principals in compliance with continual quality improvement:
1-Increasing the satisfaction of the readers, authors, staff and co-workers.
2-Promotion of the scientific content level and appearance of the journal.
3-Advancing the scientific validity of the journal both nationally and internationally.
Such basics are accomplished only by aggregative effort and reciprocity of the radiological population and related sciences, authorities and staff of the journal. Therefore, with God's help and assistance of the stated groups, I will put my effort to achieve improvement of the quality management system, which will be observed annually, according to ISO 9001: 2000.
