Latest Innovations in Interventional Oncology
This special issue belongs to the section “Medical Imaging and Theranostics“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue highlights cutting-edge diagnostic advancements reshaping interventional oncology, focusing on minimally invasive, image-guided techniques that enhance cancer detection and characterization. Emerging modalities, such as contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS), advanced MRI imaging and CT, and intraprocedural diagnostic modality to guide interventions, have enhanced the performance of tailored oncological treatment. Advanced imaging analytics, including AI-driven lesion segmentation and radiomics, along with AI-driven guidance for the treatment of tumoral lesions, are improving treatment response accuracy. Collectively, these tools empower interventional radiologists to tailor interventions, optimize biopsy strategies, and transform diagnostic paradigms for personalized oncology care.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Diagnostics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
