Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Modern radiation therapy has evolved into a discipline deeply reliant on advanced imaging technologies to ensure precision, safety, and personalization. This Special Issue aims to showcase the current state and future directions of image-assisted high-precision cancer radiation therapy, focusing on how the integration of multi-modal imaging—CT, MRI, PET, ultrasound, and surface imaging—has transformed treatment planning, delivery, adaptation, and verification. Emphasis will be placed on innovations in IGRT, adaptive therapy, radiomics, motion management, and the role of AI in image interpretation and automation. We welcome original research, technical notes, and reviews that span from preclinical developments to clinical implementation across various cancer types and treatment modalities.
