We are delighted to present the inaugural Frontiers in Radiology 'Women in Radiology” series of article collections.

‘You can do anything you put your mind to’. This is what we are told by our parents. ‘There’s nothing stopping you from going into Science’ this is what our teachers say.

We can make THIS a reality.

However, at present, less than 30% of researchers worldwide are women. Long-standing biases and gender stereotypes are discouraging girls and women away from science-related fields, and STEM research in particular. Science and gender equality are, however, essential to ensure sustainable development as highlighted by UNESCO. Without gender equality in science; scientific progress will fulfill just half of its potential.

Therefore, Frontiers in Radiology is proud to offer this platform to promote the work of women scientists, in the field of neuroimaging.

The work presented here highlights the diversity of research performed within areas of neuroimaging research relating to advances in management utilizing technology, surveillance of neurological disease, theory of application, neurological experiments, and modern methodology with applications to compelling problems.

This Research Topic would like to highlight the diversity of research performed across the entire breadth of Neuroimaging research and will present advances in theory, experiment, and methodology with applications to compelling problems.

We welcome submissions with topics that include, but are not limited to:
• Neurology studies led by women, with a particular focus on neurophysiological application, neuroradiology, radiological intervention or surveillance, and neuroscientific application.
• General perspectives within the stated field of research inspired, started, or sparked by a woman
• Articles celebrating outstanding female researchers and their contributions to the field of Neuro-related fields

We strongly encourage the submission of manuscripts where the lead and/or corresponding author is female, and we recommend early career researchers team up with senior female colleagues. However, we will welcome the submission of any article within the scope above irrespective of gender.

We would like to acknowledge Ms. Laura Pigott as the Topic Coordinator of this Research Topic. Laura Elin Pigott is the youngest person in the UK to become a Lecturer and Course Director; she teaches Neurosciences and Neurorehabilitation. Her research lies within brain sciences and disease; Laura believes there is so much of the human brain that is unknown, which to Laura just means there is so much left to discover. She says we can all take part in these discoveries. Laura is passionate about gender equality in Academia and Research and as a female academic and researcher strongly believes in celebrating the awesome and important contributions researchers of all genders make to their field.
