Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to highlight the latest advancements and applications of multiplexed imaging techniques in cancer diagnosis and therapy. Multiplexed imaging allows for the simultaneous visualization and quantification of multiple biomarkers, enhancing the accuracy and comprehensiveness of cancer diagnostics and treatment monitoring. The scope of this Special Issue includes developments in bioluminescence, fluorescence, and photoacoustic imaging technologies, as well as advanced applications of CT, MRI, PET, and SPECT multiplexed imaging for different types of cancer treatments or theragnostics. Topics of interest also include novel contrast agents, hybrid imaging techniques, and the integration of these modalities with therapeutic interventions. Contributions exploring the clinical translation of these technologies, their impact on personalized and/or pan-anticancer therapy, and their roles in early detection, staging, and monitoring treatment response are particularly welcome.
