Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The abdomen houses numerous essential organ systems, such as the hepatobiliary, pancreatic, gastrointestinal, and genitourinary systems, which are often impacted by a diverse range of conditions. Imaging plays a crucial role in the diagnostic process, which can be particularly challenging due to the complexity of the anatomy and the diverse pathology that can occur. It is also essential for staging, treatment planning, and monitoring therapeutic response.
Advancements in imaging technologies, including state-of-the-art modalities and sophisticated post-processing techniques, continue to enhance diagnostic accuracy but also demand a high level of expertise from interpreting clinicians. Furthermore, the integration of artificial intelligence into abdominal imaging is revolutionizing the field, promising new insights and improved prognostication for patients.
This Special Issue aims to highlight the latest developments and innovations in abdominal imaging for small animals. We welcome original research and comprehensive reviews addressing conventional imaging, advanced modalities, cutting-edge post-processing techniques, artificial intelligence applications, and their impact on diagnosis and clinical outcomes.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following: articles, reviews, communication, commentary, and case reports.
I look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Agustina Ansón
Guest Editor
