Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In oncology, a multidisciplinary approach has been recommended and progressively implemented in order to optimize cancer patient management. Among several other methodologies, diagnostic imaging techniques play a pivotal role in the diagnosis, staging, and monitoring of cancer in animals. In fact, sensitive detection and characterization of lesions is mandatory to determine appropriate local or systemic therapy and to manage therapeutic results.

We are pleased to invite you to submit manuscripts to this Special Issue on "Diagnostic Imaging in Animal Oncology", including research articles and original reviews on oncology-relevant topics using diagnostic imaging methodologies, in small, large, exotic, zoo, wild, and laboratory animals.

Major topics include the use of imaging modalities to diagnose, characterize, and monitor the cancer patient, such as radiology (RX), ultrasound (US), computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), scintigraphy (Sc), or positron emission tomography (PET). Comparative and translational studies will also be considered.

We expect that this Special Issue will expand our current knowledge on veterinary and/or comparative oncology, advancing new information pertinent to animal’s cancer diagnosis, management, and progression.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Animals is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is used pervasively in veterinary practice for the antemortem diagnosis of intracranial tumors. Here, we provide an illustrated summary of the published MRI features of primary and secondary intracranial tumors of dogs and cats, following PRISMA scoping review guidelines. The PubMed and Web of Science databases were searched for relevant records, and input from stakeholders was solicited to select data for extraction. Sixty-seven studies of moderate to low-level evidence quality describing the MRI features of pathologically confirmed canine and feline brain tumors met inclusion criteria. Considerable variability in data inclusion and reporting, as well as low case numbers, prohibited comparative data analyses. Available data support a holistic MRI approach incorporating lesion number, location within the brain, shape, intrinsic signal appearances on multiparametric sequences, patterns of contrast enhancement, and associated secondary changes in the brain to prioritize differential imaging diagnoses, and often allows for accurate presumptive diagnosis of common intracranial tumors. Quantitative MRI techniques show promise for improving discrimination of neoplastic from non-neoplastic brain lesions, as well as differentiating brain tumor types and grades, but sample size limitations will likely remain a significant practical obstacle to the design of robustly powered radiomic studies. For many brain tumor variants, particularly in cats, there remains a need for standardized studies that correlate clinicopathologic and neuroimaging data. Full article
