Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on cutting-edge advancements in infectious disease diagnostic technologies. It highlights the latest innovations, such as high-throughput sequencing, artificial intelligence, and other transformative tools that are revolutionizing our capacity to detect, identify, and manage infectious diseases. The contributions underscore the critical role of accurate and rapid diagnostics in controlling outbreaks, improving patient outcomes, and strengthening global health security. By bringing together leading experts, this Special Issue aims at addressing the challenges, exploring the opportunities, and outlining future directions in this fast-evolving field through research articles and reviews.
1. High-throughput sequencing
The integration of real-time genomic and epidemiologic surveillance is critical for rapidly diagnosing, tracking, and controlling infectious disease outbreaks.
2. Artificial intelligence
The application of artificial intelligence in the diagnostic field may open up potential possibilities for the automated detection and analysis of infectious diseases.
3. Digital images
High-resolution digital images can aid in analyzing complex diagnostic data quickly, enhancing diagnostic precision.
4. Radiological imaging
Advanced nuclear medicine and proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy could increase the ability to detect and monitor infections.
5. Point-of-care testing
Syndromic and multiplex assays can empower POC testing. The incorporation of artificial intelligence can improve efficiency, accuracy, and accessibility.
