The American Journal of Neuroradiology welcomed Christopher G. Filippi, MD, as its first Artificial Intelligence Deputy Editor on October 1st. Dr. Filippi will oversee the peer review of manuscripts that contain data science content such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, and deep learning. This work will be concurrent with and complement the clinical, scientific, and statistical peer review that AJNR submissions already undergo.
