Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Radiation oncology, a cornerstone of cancer management, relies heavily on the advancements in radiology for precise treatment planning and monitoring. Imaging modalities like CT, MRI, and PET-CT play a pivotal role in defining tumor boundaries, assessing treatment response, and adapting therapy in real-time.
The field of radiation oncology has witnessed significant advancements in diagnostic techniques, transforming patient care through enhanced precision and accuracy. This Special Issue aims to explore the latest developments in diagnostic imaging, artificial intelligence applications, and molecular imaging techniques that are shaping the future of radiation oncology. Contributions will focus on innovations that improve tumor detection and treatment responses, optimize radiation outcomes, and prevent different complications of radiation. Topics may include, but are not limited to, advanced imaging modalities, AI-based decision support systems, radiomics and radiogenomics, and real-time adaptive imaging techniques. By highlighting these cutting-edge advancements, the issue seeks to bridge the gap between diagnostic imaging and therapeutic applications, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration to enhance cancer treatment outcomes. This issue invites original research, reviews, and case studies from researchers and clinicians who are pioneering these transformative diagnostic approaches.
