Focus
Sriwijaya Journal of Radiology and Imaging Research is a peer-reviewed academic journal dedicated to the advancement of radiological sciences and medical imaging technologies. The primary aim of the journal is to publish high-quality, robust research that explores the diagnostic potential, technological advancements, and clinical applications of imaging modalities. It serves as a scholarly platform for disseminating systematic analyses and original research focused on enhancing diagnostic accuracy, optimizing image processing, and improving patient management.
Scope
The journal's scope is comprehensive, inviting submissions that investigate the following key areas:
Advanced Imaging Techniques: The journal prioritizes in-depth studies on the potential and application of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). This includes structural MRI (T1-weighted and T2-weighted), functional MRI (fMRI), diffusion MRI, and specialized quantitative techniques such as Proton Density Fat Fraction (PDFF) .
Technological Integration and AI: A core focus is the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in radiology. This encompasses the automation of medical image processing (e.g., image normalization, quality improvement, noise reduction) , AI-driven lesion detection , and advanced analysis such as automated segmentation, volumetric calculations, and functional analysis .
Radiological Contrast Agents: The journal publishes research on the pharmacological aspects of imaging, including investigations into the properties, efficacy, and safety of contrast agents, with a specific focus on materials like Gadolinium used to enhance MRI visualization .
Clinical Applications and Diagnostics: The scope strongly covers the use of imaging to detect, characterize, and assess a wide range of pathologies, including: Neuroradiology: The identification of epileptogenic zones and the detection of structural brain lesions such as tumors, scar tissue, hemorrhages, and vascular malformations; Hepatology: The non-invasive assessment and quantification of liver disorders, particularly hepatic steatosis (fatty liver); Oncology and Vascular Imaging: The detection and diagnosis of tumors, blood clots, inflammation, and other pathological changes across various organ systems.
