Recent Advancements in MRI and PET/CT Technologies in the Field of Urologic Oncology

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue, ‘Recent Advancements in MRI and PET/CT Technologies in the Field of Urologic Oncology’, aims to provide an overview of the recent technical developments in imaging for prostate cancer and their clinical relevance, with a special focus on MRI and PET/CT. This Special Issue aims to collate original papers, review articles, and case reports based on the clinical relevance and improvement achieved with the use of imaging modalities, such as PSMA PET/CT imaging , PSMA PET/MRI and whole-body MRI.

We would like to provide an enhanced and detailed overview of the state of the art of the clinical impact of these novel staging and re-staging tools as well as their pitfalls. Additionally, we will include a final discussion by experts in this field that summarizes and interprets the findings of this Special Issue concerning future developments and their potential applications.

Dr. Matteo Droghetti
