Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Breast cancer remains the most common malignancy among women worldwide, underscoring the need for advanced imaging techniques to improve early detection, diagnosis, and treatment planning. The rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI), radiomics, and multimodal imaging has enhanced precision in tumor characterization, enabling more personalized therapeutic approaches. This Special Issue aims to highlight recent developments in breast cancer imaging, including innovative techniques, AI-driven approaches, and clinical applications that improve diagnostic accuracy and patient management. We invite original research and review articles covering novel imaging modalities, predictive modeling, deep learning applications, and the clinical translation of advanced imaging techniques for cancer diagnosis, disease monitoring, treatment response assessment, risk stratification, and personalized medicine. Contributions addressing challenges and future directions in integrating these technologies into clinical practice are highly encouraged.
