1. Why is there no online access to Imaging and DMFR for individual (non-member) subscribers?

   Individual access to BIR online journals is reserved for the members of the BIR and the IADMFR. Joining these organizations is a more cost effective way to gain access to the online journals. There are also other membership benefits to which you will be entitled. Below you will find information about becoming a member of the BIR or IADMFR.

You'll also see a button at the top of the page confirming you're signed in as part of an institution.

3. How can I access Imaging Online if I am not a BIR member, or access DMFR Online if I am not an IADMFR Member, and I don't have access through an institutional subscription?

   You may wish to apply for BIR or IADMFR membership. Online access is FREE to members of these organizations. Without a subscription you have access to Tables of contents, abstracts, and full text searching (without full text viewing) at no cost and without having to register.
