Acta Radiologica 1921-2006.

Abstract

Acta Radiologica has now been published for 85 years, and especially during the last decades discussions about the survival of a high number of scientific journals have taken place. Despite most of the journals are accessible electronically they seem to survive also as paper issues. With time old documents have a tendency to disappear. Although several reviews have been written about Acta Radiologica since it started in 1921, we decided to review the existing material about the journal. A short survey of a few other radiological journals with a long history is also included. It has been the opinion among Scandinavian radiologists that Acta Radiologica was one of the first radiological scientific journals. This is not quite correct, as evident from the following.
