Applications of Magnetic Resonance (MR)-Based Metabolic Imaging in Medicine

Dear Colleagues,

In this Special Issue, we aim to show the readers some of the advances in metabolic imaging and translational research in metabolism. State-of-the-art technologies and methodologies to monitor metabolic disorders are currently available. However, significant challenges still lie in the accurate detection of metabolites in vivo and the lack of cross-validating applications. Thus, we intend to show recent advances in the field of metabolic imaging including applications in the fundamental sciences and examples of translational research in metabolism. We also invite the scientific community to discuss new challenges and innovations in metabolic analysis, metabolomics, metabolic probe development and current open-source software.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Metabolites is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
