Dear Friends,

As the new Editor-in-Chief of the American Journal of Neuroradiology (AJNR), I am committed to advancing the field of neuroradiology by providing all our readers with the most relevant and cutting-edge information relative to our discipline.

Looking back, the AJNR has been the leading neuroradiology publication for more than 40 years. Our journal has been instrumental in promoting excellence in research, education, and patient care. We have published research on a wide range of topics, from the latest imaging techniques to studies that address new clinical applications and relevant health policy issues. I am humbled by the work of our previous editorial teams, authors, and reviewers, who have made the AJNR the respected publication it is in the field of neuroradiology.

Looking forward, my priority as the new Editor-in-Chief is to continue this tradition of excellence and to build on the incredible legacy of the journal and the strengths of all the societies it represents: ASNR, ASFNR, ASHNR, ASPNR, and ASSR. I am committed to ensuring that the AJNR remains at the forefront of neuroradiology education and research. Our journal will continue to provide high-quality, peer-reviewed articles that are relevant to patient care. As a global publication, the AJNR has a responsibility to serve the needs of neuroradiologists from around the world. I am committed to increasing our international reach and ensuring that the AJNR reflects the diverse perspectives of our readership.

I firmly believe that the AJNR should be the first journal selected to publish any neuroradiology article. Our commitment to providing the highest-quality research, promoting diversity and inclusion, and serving the needs of clinical neuroradiologists makes us the premier publication in our field.

In conclusion, I am honored to lead the AJNR and to work with our team to continue to advance neuroradiology through the publication of highly relevant articles. Together, we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of our patients and the communities we serve.

Sincerely,
