Advanced Imaging in the Diagnosis and Management of Skin Diseases

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, the field of dermatology has witnessed a transformative shift with the growing prominence of advanced imaging techniques in the diagnosis and management of skin diseases. They have revolutionized clinical practice by providing an unprecedented wealth of visual and structural information, enabling more accurate and timely diagnoses across a broad spectrum of skin conditions. These advanced imaging technologies have been widely used in the diagnosis of skin disease, including ultrasound imaging, optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging, photoacoustic imaging, and reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) imaging. They have not only enhanced diagnostic precision but also significantly improved patient experiences by reducing the need for invasive procedures and enabling earlier intervention. In this regard, we would like to set up a new Special Issue on "Advanced Imaging in the Diagnosis and Management of Skin Diseases" to focus on publishing high-quality clinical studies that explore the latest innovations, applications, and outcomes of advanced imaging techniques. We are looking forward to hearing from you.

Dr. Lehang Guo
