Quantitative Imaging in Medicine and Surgery (Print ISSN 2223-4292; Online ISSN 2223-4306; QIMS) is calling authors to submit papers to this multi-disciplinary journal. The suitable submissions will be published alongside a number of papers already promised by an international group of authors. The diverse experience of the editorial board members allows us lends their expertise to a broad spectrum of subjects on quantitative imaging and their application in clinical medicine. For detailed type, style, format of manuscripts, please see author instructions on the website https://www.amepc.org/qims, or e-mail to: qims@amepc.org or yixiang_wang@cuhk.edu.hk.
QIMS aims to be an interface between medical physics, bioengineering, and clinical medicine. This journal encourages authors to look at the medical images from a quantitative angle, including semi-quantitative scoring. The journal publishes technical papers dealing with medical imaging, and clinical and biological papers with imaging components. The journal particularly encourages submission of papers on developing and validation of imaging biomarkers, and clinical trials using imaging biomarkers. The journal also publishes papers on developing cellular and molecular imaging techniques. High quality review papers are warmly welcomed as well.
