Molecular Imaging And Biology

Journal Title：Molecular Imaging And Biology

Molecular Imaging and Biology (MIB) invites original contributions (research articles, review articles, commentaries, etc.) on the utilization of molecular imaging (i.e., nuclear imaging, optical imaging, autoradiography and pathology, MRI, MPI, ultrasound imaging, radiomics/genomics etc.) to investigate questions related to biology and health. The objective of MIB is to provide a forum to the discovery of molecular mechanisms of disease through the use of imaging techniques. We aim to investigate the biological nature of disease in patients and establish new molecular imaging diagnostic and therapy procedures.

Some areas that are covered are:

Preclinical and clinical imaging of macromolecular targets (e.g., genes, receptors, enzymes) involved in significant biological processes.

The design, characterization, and study of new molecular imaging probes and contrast agents for the functional interrogation of macromolecular targets.

Development and evaluation of imaging systems including instrumentation, image reconstruction algorithms, image analysis, and display.

Development of molecular assay approaches leading to quantification of the biological information obtained in molecular imaging.

Study of in vivo animal models of disease for the development of new molecular diagnostics and therapeutics.

Extension of in vitro and in vivo discoveries using disease models, into well designed clinical research investigations.

Clinical molecular imaging involving clinical investigations, clinical trials and medical management or cost-effectiveness studies.

Molecular Imaging and Biology (MIB) 征集关于分子成像（即核成像、光学成像、放射自显影和病理学、MRI、MPI、超声成像）利用的原创贡献（研究文章、评论文章、评论等） 、放射组学/基因组学等）来调查与生物学和健康有关的问题。 MIB 的目标是为通过使用成像技术发现疾病的分子机制提供一个论坛。我们旨在研究患者疾病的生物学性质，并建立新的分子影像诊断和治疗程序。

涵盖的一些领域是：

参与重要生物过程的大分子靶标（例如基因、受体、酶）的临床前和临床成像。

用于大分子靶点功能检测的新型分子成像探针和造影剂的设计、表征和研究。

成像系统的开发和评估，包括仪器、图像重建算法、图像分析和显示。

开发分子检测方法，从而对分子成像中获得的生物信息进行量化。

研究用于开发新的分子诊断和治疗方法的体内疾病动物模型。

使用疾病模型将体外和体内发现扩展到精心设计的临床研究调查。

涉及临床调查、临床试验和医疗管理或成本效益研究的临床分子成像。

Molecular Imaging And Biology创刊于2005年，由SPRINGER出版商出版，收稿方向涵盖医学 - 核医学全领域，此刊是中等级别的SCI期刊，所以过审相对来讲不是特别难，但是该刊专业认可度不错，仍然是一本值得选择的SCI期刊 。平均审稿速度约3.0个月，影响因子指数2.925，该期刊近期没有被列入国际期刊预警名单，广大学者值得一试。
