Most recent AJNR publications demonstrate moderate evidence levels and are concentrated at lower clinical efficacy tiers, primarily focused on diagnostic accuracy. High-level study designs and research evaluating impact on management, outcomes, or cost-effectiveness remain limited. These findings underscore the need for methodologically rigorous and clinically impactful neuroradiology research that aligns more closely with evidence-based practice and effectiveness/value analysis.
Ghozy et al. (2026) studied this question.
