Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Many advancements have been made in medical imaging in recent years, including AI-aided X-ray interpretation, dual-energy imaging, tomosynthesis, computer-aided diagnosis, and digital mobile radiography. The COVID-19 pandemic has also highlighted the important role of using teleradiology. On the other hand, through the development and progression of radiomics and artificial intelligence, imaging can provide non-invasive biomarkers for cancer diagnostics, prognosis, and treatment response monitoring. Therefore, technological innovation is essential for improving patient care in all medical fields.
We are pleased to invite you to submit high-quality manuscripts on the following topics:
- How medical imaging innovations can improve clinical practice in diagnosis and medical management, including forensic medicine;
- How the use of teleradiology could improve clinical and radiological practice, including its use during the COVID-19 pandemic;
- How the use of radiomics and artificial intelligence in imaging can impact (positively or negatively) clinical practice, including the perspectives of the author/authors;
- The use of imaging as a biomarker with prognostic and predictive indicators.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Oncology imaging, forensic medicine, emergency medicine, artificial intelligence, and teleradiology.
I look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Barbara Brogna
