Best Open Access Journals In Imaging Biomarker

OMICS Group International through its scholarly open access initiative is committed to make genuine and reliable contributions to the scientific community. It provides the best way to publish the original research work through best open access journals allowing researchers, potential learners and the academic fellow from respective domain to access the same works for free, which also results in quick dissemination of findings and a wide impact. Alongside OMICS Group Conferences division hosts about 3000+ International Scientific Conferences with numbers steadily growing each year. OMICS Group International had signed agreement with more than 1000+ Scientific associations worldwide to make health care and scientific information open access. Manganese-enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MEMRI) evolved in the late nineties and relies upon the following three main properties of Mn2+: 1) it is a paramagnetic ion and an excellent T1 relaxivity; 2) it is a calcium (Ca2+) analog that can enter excitable cells (voltage-gated calcium receptor and calcium sensing receptor) and, 3) once in the cells Mn2+ can be transported along axons by microtubule-dependent axonal transport. The above mentioned properties of Mn2+ make it a particularly attractive contrast agent for MRI in order to study physiology and physiopathology of:1. Brain 2. Heart 3. Salivary glands 4. Cancer Different animal models were prepared to investigate the application of Manganese as contrast agent by using a clinical 3T MR scanner and a prototype birdcage coil.The results of our study highlighted the potential utility of MEMRI as “functional tool” in order to study the physiological activity of the brain, heart and salivary glands and the different expression of calcium sensing receptor in breast and prostate cancer.In conclusion, our results open the exploration of MEMRI as a new possible “imaging biomarker” of calcium metabolism in human disease.
