Innovative Diagnostic Imaging Techniques to Improve Outcomes in Complex Diseases

Dear Colleagues,

During the last decade, an increasing number of patients are suffering with complex diseases. There is an unmet need for innovative imaging modalities and treatment strategies to overcome these complex pathologies. The implementation of new imaging tools is essential during the entire patient journey, including diagnostic, therapeutic, and follow-up modalities. It will help to improve clinical outcomes, but it must also facilitate physicians to work in an healthy environment with minimal negative effects. The use of state-of-the-art imaging serves as a basis for patient-tailored and disease-specific treatments. In this Special Issue, authors are cordially invited to submit manuscripts covering the entire spectrum, which includes fundamental research to clinically applied studies focusing on inventive imaging techniques to improve outcomes in often multimorbid patients with correspondingly complex diseases.
