Medical Imaging: Advanced Techniques and Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Medical imaging encompasses different imaging modalities and processes to image the human body for diagnostic and treatment purposes and therefore plays an important role in initiatives to improve public health for all population groups. 

There are many different types of medical imaging techniques, which use different technologies to produce images for different purposes, for example,  radiography, magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound and tomography, depending on the physical nature of the waves employed and the method of image capture. There is no single imaging technology which is superior to the rest as each has its own advantages and disadvantages. 

Research into the application of medical images is usually the preserve of radiology and the medical sub-discipline relevant to medical condition or area of medical science (neuroscience, cardiology, psychiatry, psychology, dentistry, etc.) under investigation. Many of the techniques developed for medical imaging also have scientific and industrial applications. One of the most exciting areas currently under research is the application of artificial intelligence (AI) to medical imaging. 

This Special Issue of the journal Applied Sciences, “Medical Imaging: Advanced Techniques and Applications” is dedicated to covering some of the recent advances in this novel technology and applications.
