Clinical Applications of Cardiac Magnetic Resonance in Adults and Children

Dear Colleagues,

Over the last two decades, from a promising non-invasive imaging method, cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) has transferred into one of the diagnostic cornerstones in cardiology, both in adults and in children. Increased scanner availability, shortening scanning times and technical advancements, including, but not limited to, parametric imaging allowing for detailed myocardial tissue characteristics, have opened the doors for the more widespread clinical use of CMR. It is now time to summarise the data to assess the clinical value of this method in various clinical scenarios in cardiology, including its input in clinical decision-making, prognosis and outcomes and cost-effectiveness. Therefore, we would like to encourage the submission of research related to the described areas, including systematic reviews and meta-analyses, original research or short communications on important clinical data, as well as comprehensive case reports. Any translational or cross-disciplinary studies and emerging clinical applications in CMR are also welcomed for submission.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Diagnostics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
