Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
New diagnostic approaches for heart and thoracic aorta diseases have arisen in the last 10–15 years. The techniques of 3D transesophageal echocardiography and 3D computed tomography angiography provide a different view for the diagnosis and management of heart and thoracic aorta diseases. Cardiac magnetic resonance has been established as an accurate diagnostic method for the assessment of cardiac anatomy and function. On the other hand, coronary computed tomography is the method of choice for revealing asymptomatic patients with severe coronary artery disease and seems that it will be one of the routine examinations for the diagnosis of patients with suspected coronary artery disease in the future. Artificial intelligence has emerged as a new method for the diagnosis and treatment for patients with heart disease. In addition, 3D printing and reconstruction of the heart and great vessels offer a valuable tool for the accurate diagnosis of acquired and congenital heart diseases. Furthermore, virtual reality and augmented reality have made their way into healthcare and can display interactive 2D and 3D images, helping physicians to achieve a detailed diagnosis and optimal management.
With great pleasure, we are looking forward to submitting your work and research (research articles and reviews) in this Special Issue.

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. Diagnostics 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 2600 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.
