Vitreo-Retinal Disorders: Pathophysiology and Diagnostic Imaging

Dear Colleagues,

The appearance and improvement, in recent years, of different examination techniques has revolutionized the diagnosis, treatment and follow-up procedures of most retinal pathologies. Thus, the understanding and management of retinal diseases such as diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration, retinal dystrophies, posterior uveitis, retinal vascular occlusions, etc., has been greatly modified. Diagnostic techniques such as optical coherence tomography (OCT), OCT angiography, autofluorescence, widefield color and fluorescein imaging are being implemented in the daily practice of most vitreoretinal specialists. More recently, the development of adaptive optics-assisted imaging, as well as AI technology and automated detection systems, has accelerated transformation in the field of retinal imaging.

We invite researchers to submit original research papers that explore important aspects of the pathophysiology and diagnostic imaging of different retinal diseases.

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.
