Ultrasound Imaging in Digestive and Kidney Diseases
This special issue belongs to the section “Medical Imaging and Theranostics“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Ultrasound imaging has been frequently used in the diagnosis and management of digestive and kidney diseases, such as hepatic steatosis and fibrosis, and in the treatment planning, guidance and monitoring of digestive and kidney diseases, such as hepatocellular carcinoma and pancreatic cancer. In recent years, advanced ultrasound techniques have been extensively investigated to broaden the application of and to promote the performance of ultrasound imaging in digestive and kidney diseases. These include, but are not limited to, novel quantitative ultrasound and “artificial intelligence (AI) + ultrasound” techniques.
This Special Issue aims to report on the cutting-edge ultrasound techniques in digestive and kidney diseases, from theoretical and simulation studies such as ultrasound wave propagation, to phantom and animal studies ex vivo and in vivo, and to clinical studies. Contributions related to ultrasound imaging techniques in digestive and kidney diseases are welcome.
