Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
I am excited to announce a Special Issue dedicated to the detection and characterization of focal lesions in the solid abdominal organs. This Special Issue will highlight cutting-edge imaging techniques that enhance both morphological and functional assessments, as well as innovative multimodality approaches for more accurate focal lesion detection and profiling. We will also emphasize the pivotal role of imaging in understanding emerging or poorly defined neoplasms or disease processes, alongside advances in imaging technologies that have the potential to advance clinical practice. I warmly invite you to submit original research articles, scholarly reviews, position papers, and brief communications that showcase significant advances within this field. We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Prof. Dr. Gavin Low
Guest Editor
