Industry-Driven R&D in Cardiovascular Imaging

As a leading Open Access publisher, Frontiers is committed to empowering not only scientists but other researchers, innovators, and members of the public. As such, highlighting sustainable development and the real-world applications of Cardiovascular Imaging are a key part of the agenda of Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine. This special Research Topic aims to highlight advancements in the techniques, policies, materials, and methods used by industry and other non-academic bodies to develop products and services for commercial use and beyond.

This collection encourages contributions from scientists who are engaged in business/commercial projects to provide their insights and forecasts on industry research in the field of cardiovascular imaging. Authors are encouraged to identify the challenges that need to be overcome before devices, techniques, and products related to cardiovascular imaging become economically viable.

This Research Topic aims to collect contributions involving all invasive imaging modalities such as IVUS, OCT, NIRS-IVUS, and emerging hybrid intravascular imaging techniques as well as non-invasive imaging modalities, such as echocardiography, cardiac CT, MRI, PET and SPECT are welcome. We are interested in original research, meta-analysis, state-of-the-art review and clinical case review article types.

Keywords: quantitative imaging, artificial intelligence, cardiovascular disease, heart, echocardiography, cardiac CT, MRI, PET, SPECT, cardiology, radiology, algorithms, analysis, prognosis, therapy, applications, development, technical, economics, industry

Important note: All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
