Frontier of Endocrine Tumor Imaging

Dear Colleagues,

Endocrine tumors originate from glands or cells that produce hormones. These include thyroid, adrenal, pituitary, and cells/glands of the neuroendocrine system. Endocrine/neuroendocrine tumors can be called by different names depending on where they are located in the body, or from which endocrine cell/gland they arise.

Imaging methods may be extremely useful for diagnosis, monitoring, treatment response assessment, and for obtaining prognostic information in patients with endocrine and neuroendocrine tumors.

Imaging methods for assessing endocrine/neuroendocrine tumors are extremely varied, including conventional techniques of morphological imaging (ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)), endoscopic explorations, and functional imaging techniques (positron emission tomography (PET) and scintigraphic methods).

This Special Issue aims to gather articles concerning imaging techniques in endocrine/neuroendocrine tumors.
