Papers in variety journals but Australasian Radiology accounted 27%. mean time presentation 16.5 months (median 17 months). These ratios are lower than those reported overseas-based each respective area. Guidelines committees could increase APR more rigorous selection abstracts. Future should look barriers findings, ways assist process.
