About INR
Description - Interventional Neuroradiology is an international cross-disciplinary journal devoted to the study of diagnostic and therapeutic neuroradiology and related neurosciences. The discipline encompasses all those low invasive therapeutic techniques variously known as therapeutic neuroradiology, endovascular surgery, endovascular neurosurgery, etc.
Interventional or therapeutic neuroradiology is not confined to endovascular procedures. It is an umbrella term embracing many treatments ranging from percutaneous nucleotomy to stereotactic biopsies and radiosurgery and an array of allied or overlapping disciplines from intensive care to physiology and embryology.
The fact that all the procedures are performed in a radiological unit using a neuroradiological approach is the reason we chose this name for the journal. Interventional Neuroradiology aims to provide a forum to exchange news and views on all aspects of this fascinating new field of medicine. The journal publishes original papers, review papers, opinions and case reports (commented by the editors) and congress announcements. A special section will be devoted to "how-to-do- it" professional news. Other features include a commented review of the literature, a "library corner", biographical sketches of leading figures and contributions on ethical issues and the cost- benefit debate.
Presentation -
Centauro srl founded the Rivista di Neuroradiologia in 1988. Started as an independent journal, it became the official journal of the Italian Society of Neuroradiology. During this wonderful experience we realized the need for an independent journal devoted to interventional neuroradiology and related sciences. Marco Leonardi and Pierre L. Lasjaunias founded Interventional Neuroradiology in 1995, and presented it at the WFITN Meeting in Kyoto the same year. INR has been designed to be thee ideal forum open to all specialists working in this field to debate, report, learn and understand what interventional neuroradiology is and most of all what it could or should be as well as the corpus of knowledge needed to work within this special field of medicine.
Interventional Neuroradiology has its own approach which is not purely technical, but patient-focused. This is not only the journal's ethos, but a suggestion to all who are involved or will be or would like to be involved in this field. Mastering a technique is extremely important and certainly the logical basis of the neuroradiologist's work, but it is not enough. We need to know more about other disciplines from physiology, embryology, pathology and anatomy to intensive care, neurosurgery and neurology to be able to act as physicians and not as just technicians despite being experts in special or acrobatic procedures. Interventional Neuroradiology is designed as a worldwide independent scientific journal.
In 2009 Interventional Neuroradiology and AJNR the American Journal of Neuroradiology signed an important cooperation agreement.
SINCE 2011, Interventional Neuroradiology will be available also in digital edition.

I would now like to emphasize some important technical points:
- All articles published in the INR will be available on the journal's website and can be downloaded by subscribers.
- Authors are encouraged to submit their papers to the INR via the website: http://in.edmgr.com, but manuscripts can be sent by e-mail or post if electronic submission is not possible.
