Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to present recent advances in diagnostic and interventional radiology in urology, particularly regarding renal and adrenal masses. The impressive refinements in diagnostic and therapeutic techniques in this field make this a topic of the utmost importance. Original research articles and case series that highlight the results of advanced techniques to better characterize morphological and functional features of renal and adrenal masses are welcome, especially those focusing on the technological advancement of imaging, post-processing and interventional techniques.
Reviews articles (narrative reviews, systematic reviews and metanalysis) are welcome, and research with the aim of providing comprehensive knowledge on cutting-edge imaging techniques and minimally invasive treatment approaches will be considered for publication.
Lastly, articles on the potential role of artificial intelligence (AI) and big data and on their future perspectives may be considered for publication in this Special Issue.
