Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are delighted to announce that we will be serving as Guest Editors for the Children’s Special Issue “Advances in Pediatrics and Pediatric Neuroimaging: AI, New Technologies, and Their Applications in Disease Diagnosis and Therapy”.
Pediatrics is a kaleidoscopic branch of Medicine that necessitates a multidisciplinary approach to ensure the well-being of neonates and children. The integration of new technologies and artificial intelligence (AI) is essential for the evolution of pediatrics, offering pediatric patients novel ways of diagnosing diseases and providing new therapies.
Disease diagnosis is supported by pediatric body imaging and neuroimaging, which highly benefit from the application of new technologies to US, CT, and MRI. These innovations encompass shortening the MRI/CT acquisition time, supporting radiologists in lesion detection, disease evolution and comparison with previous exams, and analyzing features extracted from images. Disease therapy, and especially surgery, is undergoing a revolution, particularly due to new technologies are offering pre-surgical three-dimensional planning of pediatric surgeries. However, it is important to note that technologies and AI are continuously evolving, and their applications are widespread in all the fields of Pediatrics.
Therefore, the scope of the issue is to condense and showcase the most significant advancements in Pediatrics and Pediatric Neuroimaging. This initiative involves the publication of cutting-edge research in the field of Pediatrics, with a particular focus on novel technologies and the application of AI in pediatric disease diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy.
