The Radiological Society of North America debuts its first issue of a focused publication dedicated to cardiothoracic imaging—Radiology: Cardiothoracic Imaging.

The editor is Suhny Abbara, MD, Professor of Radiology and Chief of Cardiothoracic Imaging Division at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas.

The first issue features an editorial by Abbara and a host of original research involving aortic dissection with 4D flow magnetic resonance imaging, dual-energy cardiac computed tomography to shed light on myocardial late iodine enhancement and extracellular volume quantification, and tissue tracking versus feature tracking for strain measurement on cardiac MR images.

Radiology: Cardiothoracic Imaging is a bimonthly journal available exclusively online. The journal is now accepting manuscript submissions that cover all aspects of cardiac, vascular, and pulmonary imaging.
