MR-Based Neuroimaging

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue will be focused on advancements in MRI techniques and quantitative MRI analysis, which are central to neuroimaging research. Nowadays, contemporary and innovative analytical perspectives are essential for uncovering MR-based biomarkers and understanding their role in the early stages of brain diseases.

This Special Issue explores a comprehensive range of MRI sequences, including functional and structural MRI, as well as diffusion tensor imaging. It covers both traditional methods and novel approaches, such as the application of machine learning and deep learning techniques.

Furthermore, this Special Issue is driven by the growing interest within the research community in understanding structural and functional connectivity through MR imaging, as well as the use of MR imaging to customize treatments for neurological disorders.

Additionally, this Special Issue addresses the challenges of integrating various MRI technologies as essential biomarkers for clinical use. It also outlines potential future directions, offering a roadmap for ongoing innovation.
