Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce a Special Issue of Diagnostics dedicated to exploring the latest advancements in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), mammography, and positron emission tomography (PET)—technologies that continue to reshape the landscape of modern medicine through early and precise disease detection and characterization.
With the accelerating integration of artificial intelligence (AI), radiomics, machine learning, and hybrid imaging techniques, medical imaging has become more than a visualization tool—it now offers rich quantitative data that support predictive modeling, personalized treatment planning, and real-time decision-making.
This Special Issue aims to highlight cutting-edge developments that advance the diagnostic potential of imaging technologies across a wide array of clinical applications. We welcome high-quality submissions in the following areas:
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following:
- AI-powered diagnostic tools for image interpretation, lesion detection, and prognosis;
- Radiomics analysis for risk stratification and disease characterization;
- Hybrid imaging systems (e.g., PET/MRI, PET, and CT) for multi-modality diagnostics;
- Advanced contrast agents and techniques for enhanced tissue differentiation;
- Imaging biomarkers for early detection and therapy monitoring;
- Computational imaging and reconstruction algorithms that improve resolution, speed, accuracy, specificity, sensitivity, or dose efficiency;
- Integration of imaging with clinical decision support systems and electronic health records (EHR).

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.
