One hundred years of neuroradiology in Acta Radiologica: a Swedish perspective

Abstract

This year, Acta Radiologica marks its 100th anniversary. In this article, the authors present some of the highlights from the close collaboration between Swedish neuroradiology and Acta Radiologica over the last 100 years.
