Providing an international forum for communicating the latest findings and state-of-the-art reviews on the burgeoning field of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging and spectroscopy, the newly launched Journal of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (JCMR) fills a critical gap in the science and practice of cardiology and related disciplines—facilitating the understanding and applications of CMR. Improve diagnostic capabilities, identify diseases more accurately, and assess the efficacy of therapeutic approaches! The first and only journal devoted exclusively to CMR, JCMR contains basic and clinical research articles, technical notes, review articles, and editorial commentary on the research, design, development, manufacture, and evaluation of magnetic resonance methods applied to the cardiovascular system. JCMR covers topics such as new applications of magnetic resonance to diagnose, risk stratify, and better characterize diseases affecting the cardiovascular system new methods to enhance acquisition and data analysis results of multicenter, or larger individual center, studies that provide insight into the utility of MR basic biological perceptions derived by MR methods Reporting new information and expertly reviewing all aspects of the field for the entire cardiac MR community, the JCMR serves as essential reading for: Clinicians, including adult and pediatric cardiologists, radiologists, cardiovascular surgeons, internists, primary care physicians, and family practitioners Technologists, including all professionals involved in the hands-on performance of MR tests Scientists, including vascular biologists, cardiac biochemists, NMR spectroscopists, imaging physicists, and biomedical engineers Product Manufacturers, including pharmaceutical firms, imaging system designers and manufacturers, NMR spectroscopy system manufacturers, and contrast agents companies.
