Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Due to its architectural complexity, the correct assessment of regional symmetry is crucial for the imaging detection of subtle pathology in the cervical area. Therefore, advanced knowledge of the cervical spaces' architecture is crucial for the correct imaging localization of the diseases and assessment of their regional implications. Moreover, in recent decades, head and neck diseases have undergone a remarkable rate of imaging and software-based technological innovation that has aided radiologists in detecting and characterizing findings in this area.
This Special Issue encourages the publication of manuscripts that focus on the imaging evaluation of diseases that produce symmetric involvement of the cervical spaces. Manuscripts that investigate the latest advances in the imaging characterization of neck diseases using innovative imaging techniques (such as radiomics, dynamic contrast enhancement, and quantitative imaging) are also welcomed.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. 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. Symmetry is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2400 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.
