Aims and scope

BMC Medical Imaging is an open access journal publishing original peer-reviewed research articles in the development, evaluation, and use of imaging techniques and image processing tools to diagnose and manage disease.

Topics covered include:

  • Abdominal viscera and gastrointestinal tract imaging
  • Breast imaging
  • Genitourinary imaging
  • Head and neck imaging
  • Molecular imaging
  • Musculoskeletal imaging
  • Neuroimaging
  • Thoracic imaging

As a BMC Series journal, BMC Medical Imaging does not make editorial decisions based on the perceived interest or potential impact of a study. Manuscripts are considered for publication if they are scientifically valid. For research articles, this includes having a clearly defined and sound research question, appropriate methodology and analysis, and adherence to community-agreed standards relevant to the field.
