Medical Imaging is now in its 21st year of publication. The magazine has gone through many shifts and turns in its 2 decades, and as you flip through the pages of this issue, you'll see that changes are upon us again. Everything is different—the look, the logo, the sections, the back page, and more. But one thing is constant, as it has been throughout the past 21 years: our commitment to informing you, our readers, about new products and technology. With this redesign and relaunch of Medical Imaging, we are renewing our vow to that commitment and have restructured the magazine in a way that makes it even easier for you to find the information you want and need.
First, we've added five new sections to the magazine, grouped by modality: MRI & CT; Ultrasound; Oncology, about imaging and treating cancer; Informatics, which serves the emerging imaging informatics profession; and R&F, about x-ray, angiography, and fluoroscopy. These sections will provide you with all of the latest technology and product information, including FDA clearances, new applications, safety tips, clinical study results, educational opportunities, and more.
Next, our new back page, called Emerging Technology, highlights an up-and-coming technology. This month, we're showcasing dual-source CT—what it is, how it works, and what it means for the end-user. Each month, we will seek, find, and present a budding new technology—like dual-source CT—to help keep you a step ahead.
Also, we have a new member on our staff. Please join me in welcoming Cheryl Proval as our editorial director. Cheryl has been the editor of Imaging Economics for the past 9 years. Now, in a new partnership of these two imaging magazines, Cheryl is the editorial director and I am the editor of both publications. As you have come to know and as I described above, Medical Imaging will drill down into the technological, regulatory, and practical aspects of products and technology; on the other hand, sister publication Imaging Economics will report on business solutions and the financial implications of imaging technology. The two magazines are working together to provide two very different views of the medical-imaging industry in a complementary way.
Finally, to round out the redesign of Medical Imaging in print, we have redesigned our Web site (which we hope you’ve noticed by now). We still have all of the same useful tools on the site: a searchable archive of the magazine dating back to 2000, and the entire print publication online. But we've also added monthly polls and surveys (this month, we're asking about the highest number of detectors on your facility's CT scanner); daily news posts; and more. And, of course, we're still dedicated to Medical Imaging News (MIN), our weekly e-newsletter delivered directly to your e-mail inbox. Free subscriptions to MIN, as well as complete archives of the newsletter, are online.
We are absolutely thrilled with our "new" magazine, and we hope that you are as well. More than ever, I would love to hear from you—your thoughts on the new look, your feedback on the content...any and all of it. Enjoy the new Medical Imaging.
