Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of Diagnostics is dedicated to the rapidly evolving field of advanced neuroimaging and theranostics in neurological diseases. We invite original research and review articles that explore the integration of cutting-edge imaging techniques—such as ultra-high-field MRI, novel PET radiotracers, and hybrid PET-MRI systems—with targeted therapeutic agents. The scope encompasses a wide range of disorders, including brain tumors, neurodegenerative diseases, and cerebrovascular conditions. We are particularly interested in contributions that highlight the translational potential of radiomics, artificial intelligence, and quantitative imaging biomarkers to refine diagnosis, guide targeted interventions, and monitor treatment response. The ultimate goal of this Special Issue is to showcase innovative research that bridges the gap between diagnostic imaging and personalized therapy, paving the way for improved patient outcomes in clinical neurology and neurosurgery.
Dr. Jimmy S. Lee
