Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Among other routine activities, the human brain is still in the process of discovering itself. Investigators develop new ideas and apply advanced medical and engineering technologies to analyze multimodal data with the main purpose of understanding brain functions and their link with human behavior.
This Special Issue on “Recent Achievements in Neuroimaging” invites scholars involved in brain research to share contributions about the latest research findings on (ab)normal brain function, arteries and veins, structural connectivity, metabolism, development, degeneration, and regeneration. In this Special Issue, we will compile recent progress in these aspects, covering topics ranging from cell engineering methods to imaging acquisitions and data analysis. We aim to collate original research on clinical and preclinical neuroimaging (MRI, PET, and CT) from leading institutions and world experts.
The first part of this Special Issue will include review papers describing the current literature as well as future perspectives based on the authors’ experience and expertise. The second part will encompass high-quality original research papers that deal with various levels of multimodal analysis that extend from molecules to image acquisition, processing, and data analysis. We aim to offer the scientific community an excellent opportunity to gain a robust and comprehensive overview of state-of-the-art neuroimaging techniques that provide a unique opportunity to gain further, deep access to recent valuable diagnostics and intervention capabilities for a variety of neurological diseases. Through this Special Issue, we wish to present strong perspectives on ongoing practical research covering a large spectrum of applications, aiming to present future translational considerations that are necessary for artificial intelligence neuro-applications.
I look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Malek Makki

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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.
