Although case reports have always had a place at the foundation of medical knowledge, established radiology journals have increasingly focused their efforts on major research studies. This de-emphasis of case reports has resulted in a dearth of opportunities to publish them. Case reports continue to mark the frontiers of what we know as physicians, and have long provided an attainable way for fledging authors to learn the craft of scientific writing. For these reasons and others, we have established Radiology Case Reports (RCR), a peer-reviewed journal specializing in case reports, and have gathered a distinguished Editorial Board to assist us. RCR offers open access (free of subscription fees or access charges) on the internet to the full text of its articles as soon as they are published. We invite interested persons to join us in helping this venerable but valuable form of medical journalism not only survive, but flourish.
尽管病例报告在医学知识的基础中一直占有一席之地，但老牌放射学杂志越来越多地将精力集中在重大研究上。对病例报告的这种不重视导致发表病例报告的机会匮乏。病例报告始终标志着我们作为医生所了解的前沿领域，长期以来一直为初出茅庐的作者提供了一种切实可行的学习科学写作技巧的途径。出于这些及其他原因，我们创办了《放射病例报告》（RCR），这是一本专门发表病例报告的同行评审期刊，并召集了一个杰出的编辑委员会来协助我们。RCR在文章一经发表便在互联网上提供其全文的开放获取（无需订阅费或访问费）。我们邀请有兴趣的人士与我们一道，帮助这种古老但有价值的医学新闻形式不仅生存下去，而且蓬勃发展。
