Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the rapid advancement of technology, the diagnosis of hepatobiliary and pancreatic diseases is becoming more and more precise. The availability of new tools and devices—together with breakthroughs in the knowledge of the biological behavior of neoplastic diseases—is changing the role of diagnostic imaging and preoperative assessment, which is being implemented from purely diagnostic to prognostic and risk stratification scenarios. In the era of precision medicine, artificial intelligence, radiomics, advanced endoscopy, and new preoperative tissue acquisition procedures represent the future of hepatobiliary and pancreatic diagnostics.
In this Special Issue, we aim to highlight current developments, and we invite submissions of original research and comprehensive reviews on recent or new diagnostic methods/devices, or on advancements/new discoveries related to cross-sectional imaging, endoscopy, and the pathology of hepatobiliary and pancreatic diseases.
We aim for this Special Issue to be informative for gastroenterologists, endoscopists, radiologists, pathologists, and surgeons.
Dr. Stefano Francesco Crinò
Guest Editor
