From the Desk of the International Editor

Dr. Rakesh Sinha

Greetings from the Journal of Gastrointestinal and Abdominal Radiology ISGAR and welcome to this inaugural issue. With this new journal from the Indian Society of Gastrointestinal and Abdominal Radiology (ISGAR), the editorial team is committed to provide scientific articles, essays, and original research for the advancement of abdominal radiology. Apart from the teaching and training potential, we also hope that this journal would provide a platform for radiology trainees to present their research papers. This journal would also aim to improve the standards of scientific journalism and relevant scientific content related to the field of abdominal radiology. Gastrointestinal and abdominal radiology is a wide-ranging specialty containing several subspecialties within it. These subspecialties include the hepatobiliary, pancreatic, genitourinary, gastrointestinal systems, and abdominal interventions (vascular and nonvascular). Gastrointestinal radiological societies are well established in Europe (European Society of Gastrointestinal and Abdominal Radiology [ESGAR]) and in the United States (Society of Abdominal Radiology [SAR]) and their meetings are held annually or held together. Perhaps in the future with ISGAR being established, closer cooperation and seminars or meeting with ESGAR and SAR may be possible.

We hope that you will support us in this endeavor and also contribute to the academic and scientific content of this journal.
