Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In this Special Issue, we will explore the latest clinical advancements and future prospects of PET/CT imaging, a technology that has revolutionized cancer diagnosis, staging, and treatment planning.
PET/CT imaging, a fusion of positron emission tomography (PET) and computed tomography (CT), has emerged as a cornerstone of modern oncology. By combining functional and structural imaging data, PET/CT provides unparalleled insights into the metabolic and anatomic characteristics of tumors. This dual-modality approach enables clinicians to make more informed decisions, tailor therapies to individual patient needs, and monitor treatment response with greater precision.
We will assemble a diverse array of papers that delve into the latest clinical applications of PET/CT imaging in oncology. From the early detection and staging of various cancer types to assessing treatment efficacy and guiding therapy adjustments, the contributions in this Special Issue showcase the versatility and impact of PET/CT imaging.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Francesco Lanfranchi
Guest Editor
