Advances in Diagnostic Techniques in Retinal Diseases

Dear Colleagues,

There have been significant advances in diagnostic techniques for retinal diseases in recent years. Among them, optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging has played a crucial role for many years in the diagnosis and management of retinal and choroidal diseases, allowing for high-quality, cross-sectional analysis of these anatomical structures. Furthermore, OCT angiography (OCTA) imaging is currently being adopted in everyday clinical routine as a non-invasive, dye-less alternative to fluorescein angiography (FA). Nonetheless, other novel OCT techniques, including wide-field OCT, visible light OCT, high-resolution OCT, intraoperative OCT, and handheld OCT, are currently being investigated. In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) has shown enormous potential to improve the accuracy and efficiency for the early diagnosis and treatment of retinal diseases, leading to the possibility to improve patients’ outcomes.

Moreover, several advances have been made in the field of ocular oncology, with the improvement of diagnostic techniques and early diagnosis of these eye tumours.

This Special Issue aims to collect papers focusing on the latest developments achieved in the field of ocular imaging, AI, and ocular oncology, highlighting the potential of technological advances to impact the everyday clinical practice.

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.
