Towards the end of last year a sur-
vey was conducted of contributions
by local authors in the peer-reviewed
literature. A big thanks goes to all of
you who answered this call. There are
undoubtedly a number of other
authors in South Africa who have not
listed their publications here but this
survey was never intended to present
an exhaustive list of all known writ-
ings by South African radiologists. It
was thought that the survey would
not amount to much but we were
somewhat surprised by the response
we had. Printed here is a list of con-
tributions by those local authors who
replied to the survey. We have limited
the list to those publications in the
local and international peer-reviewed
journals during the last 5 years.
Mainly to preserve the sanity of the
editor we have not included the many
contributions to textbooks or articles
printed in the SAJR. We have also not
included abstracts from international
congress or poster presentations. But
from this list one can take heart that
South African radiologists are contin-
uing to make their mark throughout
the world. This survey was intended
to be a 'one-off' but the SAJR could

survey

continue to publish abstracts of future
articles by local authors as a regular
feature so that readers can remain
aware of these ongoing contributions.
Your opinions on this could be
addressed to the editor of the SAJR or
placed on the RSSA website discus-
sionforum.
