The Impact Factor measures the average number of citations received in a particular year by papers published in the journal during the two preceding years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) IF: 2.7 To calculate the five year Impact Factor, citations are counted in 2017 to the previous five years and divided by the source items published in the previous five years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) 5-Year IF: 3.6 The Immediacy Index is the average number of times an article is cited in the year it is published. The journal Immediacy Index indicates how quickly articles in a journal are cited. Immediacy Index: 0.8 The Eigenfactor score, developed by Jevin West and Carl Bergstrom at the University of Washington, is a rating of the total importance of a scientific journal. Journals are rated according to the number of incoming citations, with citations from highly ranked journals weighted to make a larger contribution to the eigenfactor than those from poorly ranked journals. Eigenfactor: 0.00023 The Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) is a single measurement of the field-normalized citation impact of journals in the Web of Science Core Collection across disciplines. The key words here are that the metric is normalized and cross-disciplinary. JCI: 0.39 SJR: 0.42 SNIP: 0.89 CiteScore™:: 5.5 H-Index: 79

ABSTRACT

In the last two decades, nanoparticle contrast agents have emerged as an essential tool for preclinical imaging and diagnosis. Besides their main advantage, related to their size range inhibiting glomerular filtration, they exhibit excellent X-ray attenuation when fabricated with heavy metal and thus high contrast in tomodensitometry. Another strength of inorganic nanoparticles, making them very adaptable to preclinical imaging applications, is the modularity of their surface chemistry, which is compatible with decoration by ligands and biomolecules. The present review draws a state-of-the art picture of the different inorganic nanoparticles synthesized as X-ray contrast agents. We present the panel of heavy metals and materials used, their X-ray attenuation properties, related applications, potential surface modifications, and in vitro and in vivo behaviors. An important aspect of this review is that the majority of inorganic nanoparticles are based on gold. We summarize the latest technologies for targeting nanoparticles designed to improve imaging techniques and advanced diagnostic methods.
