Aim & Scope
Radiology Research and Diagnostic Imaging provides a comprehensive platform for the dissemination of high-quality research in all areas of radiology and diagnostic imaging. The journal aims to facilitate the exchange of knowledge and ideas among researchers, clinicians, and industry professionals, thereby advancing the field and improving patient outcomes.
The scope of RRDI encompasses, but is not limited to, the following areas:
- Imaging Modalities: Original research and technical advancements in various imaging modalities, including but not limited to X-ray, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound, nuclear medicine, molecular imaging, and positron emission tomography (PET).
- Diagnostic Radiology: Clinical studies, case reports, and reviews focusing on the use of imaging techniques for the diagnosis and characterization of diseases across different medical specialties, such as oncology, neurology, cardiology, musculoskeletal, gastrointestinal, and genitourinary imaging.
- Interventional Radiology: Novel techniques, outcomes research, and clinical trials in interventional radiology, covering areas such as vascular and non-vascular interventions, image-guided therapies, minimally invasive procedures, and percutaneous biopsies.
- Radiation Safety and Dose Optimization: Research on radiation protection, dose reduction strategies, quality assurance, and patient safety in diagnostic and interventional radiology procedures.
- Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning: Applications of AI, machine learning, deep learning, and computer-aided diagnosis in radiology, including image analysis, pattern recognition, automated detection, and decision support systems.
- Radiation Oncology: Advances in imaging techniques and treatment planning for radiation therapy, including image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT), stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), and proton therapy.
- Radiologic Physics and Technology: Research on imaging physics, image acquisition techniques, hardware developments, software innovations, and advances in radiologic technology.
RRDI welcomes original research articles, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, clinical trials, case reports, and perspectives that contribute to the advancement of knowledge in radiology and diagnostic imaging. The journal encourages interdisciplinary collaborations and welcomes submissions from radiologists, imaging scientists, medical physicists, engineers, and other healthcare professionals worldwide.
