Declining or Waning
- Basic Research on Imaging Physics:
There has been a gradual decline in papers focusing solely on the fundamental physics of imaging techniques, as the field has shifted towards more clinically applicable research that directly impacts patient care. - Traditional Imaging Techniques:
Publications centered around conventional imaging techniques without the integration of advanced methodologies (e.g., standard echocardiography) are appearing less frequently as newer, more sophisticated techniques gain favor. - Single-Center Studies:
The prevalence of single-center studies is waning, likely due to a growing emphasis on multicenter collaborations that enhance the generalizability and robustness of findings across diverse populations. - Basic Cardiovascular Anatomy Studies:
Research solely focused on anatomical descriptions of cardiovascular structures without functional or clinical implications is becoming less common, as the journal prioritizes studies that elucidate functional outcomes.
