The British Journal of Radiology

Last updated

History

The journal's forerunner, the Archives of Clinical Skiagraphy was established by Sydney Domville Rowland in May 1896. [3] [4] In July 1897 it was renamed the Archives of the Roentgen Ray and reported that it would keep a "record [of] the proceedings of the recently formed Roentgen Society, and will consist of original communications, notes, and correspondence ... (and) offers itself, not merely as a journal of the new photography, but to some extent as the exponent of an important discovery". [1] It was published quarterly and was the only journal which reported the transactions of the roentgen Society. [1]

In 1904, John Hall-Edwards became editor and in 1924, after 24 volumes, the journal was renamed The British Journal of Radiology (Roentgen Society Section) The Journal of the Roentgen Society, after a period of being Archives of Radiology and Electrotherapy and The Journal of the British Association of Radiology and Physiotherapy. [1]

In 1928 the British Institute of Radiology and the Roentgen Society combined to form The British Journal of Radiology. [1] Later, supplements were added and the journal became online from 2001. [1] Old editions have been digitised. [1]
