Journal Title：Tomography

TomographyTM publishes basic (technical and pre-clinical) and clinical scientific articles which involve the advancement of imaging technologies. Tomography encompasses studies that use single or multiple imaging modalities including for example CT, US, PET, SPECT, MR and hyperpolarization technologies, as well as optical modalities (i.e. bioluminescence, photoacoustic, endomicroscopy, fiber optic imaging and optical computed tomography) in basic sciences, engineering, preclinical and clinical medicine.

Tomography also welcomes studies involving exploration and refinement of contrast mechanisms and image-derived metrics within and across modalities toward the development of novel imaging probes for image-based feedback and intervention. The use of imaging in biology and medicine provides unparalleled opportunities to noninvasively interrogate tissues to obtain real-time dynamic and quantitative information required for diagnosis and response to interventions and to follow evolving pathological conditions. As multi-modal studies and the complexities of imaging technologies themselves are ever increasing to provide advanced information to scientists and clinicians.

Tomography provides a unique publication venue allowing investigators the opportunity to more precisely communicate integrated findings related to the diverse and heterogeneous features associated with underlying anatomical, physiological, functional, metabolic and molecular genetic activities of normal and diseased tissue. Thus Tomography publishes peer-reviewed articles which involve the broad use of imaging of any tissue and disease type including both preclinical and clinical investigations. In addition, hardware/software along with chemical and molecular probe advances are welcome as they are deemed to significantly contribute towards the long-term goal of improving the overall impact of imaging on scientific and clinical discovery.

TomographyTM 发表涉及成像技术进步的基础（技术和临床前）和临床科学文章。断层扫描包括使用单一或多种成像模式的研究，包括例如 CT、US、PET、SPECT、MR 和超极化技术，以及基础科学中的光学模式（即生物发光、光声、显微内窥镜、光纤成像和光学计算机断层扫描） 、工程、临床前和临床医学。

断层扫描还欢迎涉及探索和改进对比机制和图像衍生指标的研究，这些研究旨在开发用于基于图像的反馈和干预的新型成像探针。成像在生物学和医学中的使用为无创询问组织提供了无与伦比的机会，以获得诊断和响应干预所需的实时动态和定量信息，并跟踪不断变化的病理状况。随着多模态研究和成像技术本身的复杂性不断增加，为科学家和临床医生提供先进的信息。

断层扫描提供了一个独特的出版场所，使研究人员有机会更准确地交流与正常和患病组织的潜在解剖、生理、功能、代谢和分子遗传活动相关的多样化和异质特征相关的综合发现。因此，Tomography 发表了同行评审的文章，这些文章涉及广泛使用任何组织和疾病类型的成像，包括临床前和临床研究。此外，硬件/软件以及化学和分子探针的进步受到欢迎，因为它们被认为对提高成像对科学和临床发现的整体影响的长期目标做出了重大贡献。
