Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Neurological disorders—including neurodegenerative diseases, movement disorders, cognitive impairment, and rare neurological syndromes—pose complex diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. In recent years, the integration of novel technologies into clinical and research settings has opened new frontiers in the understanding, detection, and management of these conditions.
This Special Issue of Biomedicines aims to collect high-quality original articles and reviews focused on the impact of emerging technologies in the field of neurology. Contributions may include but are not limited to the application of advanced diagnostic imaging modalities (such as PET, PET/MRI, or hybrid systems), machine learning and AI-based decision support systems, digital biomarkers, and neurophysiological tools.
Special attention will be paid to studies highlighting how these technologies contribute to improved disease characterization, early diagnosis, personalized treatment planning, and patient monitoring. Interdisciplinary approaches that connect nuclear medicine, neurology, biomedical engineering, and cognitive neuroscience are particularly welcome.
By fostering a dialogue between clinical experience and technological innovation, this Special Issue seeks to offer a comprehensive overview of how cutting-edge tools are reshaping the diagnostic and therapeutic landscape of neurological disorders.
Dr. Luca Filippi
