Topics in Magnetic Resonance Imaging is published by Wolters Kluwer Health. By OpenAlex counts of its recent articles, its largest topics are Advanced MRI Techniques and Applications, MRI in cancer diagnosis and Advanced Neuroimaging Techniques and Applications, together about 46.7% of its articles. Its main subfields are Radiology, Nuclear Medicine and Imaging. (generated from OpenAlex topic counts and CAS ranking data)
Cardiac tumors are aggressive and asymptomatic in early stages, causing late diagnosis and locoregional metastasis. Currently, the standard of care uses gadolinium-based contrast agents for MRI, and the associated hypersensitivity reactions are a significant concern, such as gadolinium deposition disease. In addition, the proximity of cardiac lesions closer to vital structures complicates surgical interventions. We envisage the development of a scalable, Gd-free, multimodal contrast agent based on EDTA bisamide with pyridine-based fluorophore (L1). The diagnostic arm should have manganese (Mn)-enhanced high relaxivity for MRI and high sensitivity for PET and/or optical imaging (eg, fluorescence lifetime imaging), with comparable/higher than commercial diagnostic agents, along with the multikinase targeted anticancer activity and strong affinity for human serum albumin.

Only articles that were accepted and published are counted, not the time spent on rejected manuscripts, so this usually runs longer than a publisher's "time to first decision".
Community reports come from authors' own submissions (confidence 0.5) and are not a promise from the journal; for publisher figures, the journal's own definitions apply.
