Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Since the first in vivo brain MR image was acquired, we have continued to observe significant advancements in the field of neuroimaging that can be utilized in the diagnosis, decision-making, and routine follow-up of patients. The implementation of novel approaches, such as advanced magnetic resonance imaging, diffusion tensor imaging, volumetric measurements, functional studies, and biologic biomarkers, are accelerating the understanding of several pathologies, facilitating their timely diagnosis, treatment planning, and monitoring.
This Special Issue will be focused on advanced neuroimaging techniques and their applications. It will also emphasize future perspectives of neuroimaging, with a look to emerging applications and methods.
We welcome authors to contribute with original or review manuscripts regarding the use of neuroimaging methods for clinical diagnosis, pathologies monitoring, predictions outcomes, and determinants of disease-modifying treatment responses.
Lastly, case reports and interesting images highlighting the use and feasibility of such techniques are also welcomed.
Dr. Angela Bernabeu-Sanz
Guest Editor
Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Diagnostics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
