Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent technological developments are rapidly transforming diagnostic approaches in obstetrics and gynecology. Advances in imaging modalities, including high-resolution ultrasound and Doppler techniques, together with the increasing integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms, have opened new possibilities for early disease detection, risk prediction, and personalized patient management. Moreover, novel biomarker research and digital health technologies are providing additional opportunities to improve diagnostic accuracy and clinical decision-making in women’s health.
This Special Issue aims to present recent advances in diagnostic strategies across the spectrum of obstetrics and gynecology. Particular attention will be given to innovative imaging approaches, prenatal diagnostics, artificial intelligence-supported clinical decision systems, and emerging digital diagnostic technologies. The goal of this Special Issue is to showcase interdisciplinary research that bridges technological innovation and clinical application.
In this Special Issue, original research articles, systematic reviews, and narrative reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Advanced ultrasound technologies in obstetrics and gynecology;
- Prenatal and fetal diagnostic imaging;
- Artificial intelligence and machine learning in ultrasound diagnostics;
- Digital health tools and telemedicine in obstetrics and gynecology;
- Biomarkers and molecular diagnostics in maternal–fetal medicine;
- The early detection of gynecological diseases;
- Risk prediction models in pregnancy complications;
- Diagnostic innovations in reproductive medicine.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Florian Recker
