Quality of Evidence and Clinical Impact in Recent Neuroradiology Research: A Systematic Assessment of American Journal of Neuroradiology (AJNR) Articles

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.
