Insights into Imaging is a journal of the European Society of Radiology (ESR) with an Impact Factor 2021 of 5.036.
Insights into Imaging accepts original articles, educational and critical review articles as well as position and recommendation papers from leading societies and institutions. Through critical thinking and re-thinking, the authors should provide an insight into how radiology is currently practised and analyse whether it needs to be re-shaped.

This study investigated the correlations between T1 mapping in remote myocardium and microvascular impairment. It also comprehensively assessed the value of T1 mapping as a prognostic indicator in patients with STEMI treated by primary percutaneous coronary intervention.
Since their inception, the ESR journals have used double-blinded peer review, where reviewers were blinded to the authors’ identities and vice versa.
As of January 9, 2023, all three journals begin implementing a single-blinded peer review process, where manuscripts sent to reviewers will no longer be anonymized or blinded, but reviewers’ names will continue to be unknown to authors.
There are several reasons for this decision taken by the Editors-in-Chief. First, in light of the rapid development of pre-print archives, anonymity of authors is fading by the authors’ own decision. Second, the journals’ experience so far showed that many manuscripts cannot be fully anonymized. Having reviewers that are experts in their field also means they are often still able to, at least, presume the identity of the authors. Third, reviewers are blinded to important references from the authors, limiting the possibility to assess comprehensive literature search and correctness of citations. Finally, with the single-blindness, the check for anonymity will be skipped and the time from manuscript submission to availability to the Editors could be shortened.
The Editors-in-Chief would like to take this opportunity to thank all reviewers and authors for their great work and support of the ESR Journals.
