n SA Journal of Radiology - Molecular imaging : editorial

Abstract

I was delighted and flattered when Jan Lotz invited me to contribute to the South African Journal of Radiology; although, if you were aware of how little I know about molecular imaging (MI - yet another acronym to confuse with MR), you might reasonably be wondering why on earth he approached me. Well, I edit Clinical Radiology, the journal of the Royal College of Radiologists, and we recently published a special issue on this hot topic. I wrote a brief editorial introducing the issue, then sat back to marvel as the contributions from around the world came in, and Jan asked if I would write a similar piece for the SAJR. I'll resist the temptation to reference each paper in our special issue in a blatant attempt to boost the journal's impact factor, but hopefully most of you will have electronic access to it through your institutions or possibly as Fellows of the College.
