AIMS
To promote knowledge and training in cardiac imaging techniques. Cardiac imaging techniques are, without a doubt, the most important revolution that has taken place in the field of cardiology in the last 50 years. The rapid technological advances and their incorporation into our clinical practice require extensive knowledge of the different imaging methodologies and the need for constant training of dedicated professionals.
To transfer advances in cardiac imaging techniques to clinical practice. Through the publication, with a teaching approach, of clinical practice cases and reviews of the main scientific advances.
To make science practical. This is a journal that aims to extract the lessons learned from the application of cardiac imaging techniques in real clinical situations. Therefore, the basis of each issue is an extensive series of clinical cases complemented with review articles focused in a very practical way and with several short articles on practical "tricks" in the use of imaging techniques.
FOCUS AND SCOPE
The scope of the journal covers the entire professional field of cardiac imaging. The topics we develop are: echocardiography, cardiology, cardiac imaging, cardiovascular ultrasound and cardiac ultrasound.
AUDIENCE
The RETIC journal aims to be a meeting place where all professionals dedicated to cardiac imaging, regardless of their training, experience or place of work, can share their knowledge and passion for imaging techniques, submit their own cases and review the best cases of colleagues from all over the world as a stimulus to be permanently updated.
