A growing readership
The demand for C2I2 continues to increase:
C2I2 is now delivered to 103 countries and
more than 8000 copies of each issue are
distributed (up from 6500 in 2003).
Requests for the journal via the C2I2
website have increased from 450 to
more than 1600.
A broad range of topics
This issue of C2I2 builds on the success of
previous issues and, as always, a broad
range of topics is covered to ensure that
all readers will find subjects of interest to
them. Moving forward, we intend to
continue publishing articles that address
two or more aspects of a particular
subject. For example, in this issue we
include an article on the role of nuclear
medicine in the diagnosis of pulmonary
embolism while the next issue will look at
the subject from a radiology perspective.
In addition, we are beginning a series on
adjunctive therapy and the first area to be
addressed is antithrombotic therapy for
percutaneous coronary intervention.
Encouraging debate
The Editorial Board members are committed
to providing high-quality articles that
meet the needs of the readers. A survey is currently being undertaken at selected
congresses to gain more insight
into readers’ perceptions of C2I2 and the
topics that they would like to see covered.
We will be reporting on responses in a
future issue, but in the interim we would
be delighted to receive feedback from the
readership on the journal’s content,
together with comments and opinions.
In this issue…
- Professor Dr Christoph Becker of Munich,
Germany discusses the impact of new CT
technology on clinical practice, highlighting
the capabilities of the latest multi-row
scanners. This paper is illustrated by
some incredible images showing the
detail and quality that are now possible.
- Dr Patrick Reinartz and Dr Ulrich Buell of
Aachen, Germany evaluate the role of
lung scintigraphy in the diagnosis of
pulmonary embolism and emphasise
the importance of making a definitive
diagnosis.
- Dr Pierre Aubry from Paris, France reviews
recommendations for antithrombotic
therapy in patients undergoing
percutaneous coronary intervention and
their application in clinical practice. This
is clearly a constantly evolving area with
new agents in development and many
ongoing trials.
- Professor José Cacéres considers the
special problems involved in undertaking
radiological investigations and procedures
in the old and very old.With the ageing
of the population, this is becoming an
increasing challenge.
We hope that you will enjoy reading
this issue and that you will find the
content useful in your clinical practice.
We would encourage you to pass the
journal on to colleagues and to
contribute comments and opinions
about C2I2 to the Editorial Board.
