2019 marks the 5th anniversary of the partnership between the International Cancer Imaging Society (ICIS) and BMC to publish Cancer Imaging.
Over the past 5 years, the journal has become a well-respected journal in the field and has established itself in the second quartile of the ‘Radiology, Nuclear Medicine & Medical Imaging’ category of Journal Citation Reports.
Click here to look back at the journal’s milestone achievements and article highlights from the past 5 years.
Imaging techniques can provide information about tumors non-invasively and can provide information about their underlying genetic makeup. Correlating image-based phenotypes (radiomics) with genomic analyses is an emerging area of research commonly referred to as “radiogenomics." In this review, Albert C. Yeh et al. discuss using an automated, quantitative radiomics platform on magnetic resonance (MR) breast imaging to infer underlying activity of relevant gene pathways derived from RNA sequencing of invasive breast cancers prior to therapy.

A peer-reviewed journal would not survive without the generous time and insightful comments of the reviewers, whose efforts often go unrecognized. Although final decisions are always editorial, they are greatly facilitated by the deeper technical knowledge, scientific insights, understanding of social consequences, and passion that reviewers bring to our deliberations. For these reasons, the Editors and staff of Cancer Imaging would like to publicly acknowledge our Top 10 peer reviewers of 2018:
Ravikanth Balaji, Apollo Speciality Hospital, India
Arturo Chiti, Humanitas Cancer Center, Italy
Stefan Diederich, Marien Hospital, Germany
Ralf Stefan Eschbach, LMU Munich, Germany
Jeffrey Guenette, Brigham and Women's Hospital, USA
Shelley Henderson, Ninewells Hospital, UK
Wolfgang Schima, KH Goettlicher Heiland, Austria
Helmut Schoellnast, Medical University of Graz, Austria
Richard Thomas, Brigham and Women's Hospital, USA
Asuncion Torregrosa, Hospital Universitari i Politècnic la Fe, Spain
We are delighted to announce that “Primary carcinosarcoma of the liver: imaging features and clinical findings in six cases and a review of the literature” was the top cited article published in Cancer Imaging of 2018.
Congratulations to all of the authors involved with this research: Jing Li, Pan Liang, Dandan Zhang, Jie Liu, Hongkai Zhang, Jinrong Qu and Jianbo Gao.
Surprisingly, in contrast to the literature regarding the outcomes of imaging, the methods that underpin the generation of an imaging report and how to communicate the findings cogently to referring clinicians remain something of a ‘black box'. In this thematic series, experts across various modalities detail their approach to reporting scans in particular disease settings.

The International Cancer Imaging Society Meeting and 19th Annual Teaching Course titled 'Cancer Imaging: The Gateway to the Best Treatment and Management of Oncological Patients' will take place in Verona, Italy between 7th - 9th October 2019. Please click here for more information on the course.
We are pleased to announce a new cross-journal thematic series on ‘Precision Oncology’ across a number of BMC journals within the oncology portfolio to help bring together the latest research on precision oncology.
The thematic series is now open for submission of original research and review articles - for further information about this series please click here.
Cancer Imaging is an open access, peer-reviewed journal publishing original articles, reviews and editorials written by expert international radiologists working in oncology.
The journal encompasses CT, MR, PET, ultrasound, radionuclide and multimodal imaging in all kinds of malignant tumours, plus new developments, techniques and innovations.

A major focus of Prof Rodney Hicks' (Co-Editor-in-Chief of Cancer Imaging) clinical research has been to assess the impact of PET on patient management and prognostic stratification.
"A few years ago I changed the name of my department from Diagnostic Imaging to Cancer Imaging since it occurred to me that little of what we do is diagnostic. Increasingly, the role of imaging in cancer is in selecting, planning and monitoring treatment. The challenge of imaging science is to establish our techniques as prognostic and predictive biomarkers and to show that our results improve patient outcomes"
Prof Rodney Hicks, Co-Editor-in-Chief, Cancer Imaging
