Advanced Neuroimaging Analysis: From Data to Diagnosis

Dear Colleagues,

The Special Issue entitled “Advanced Neuroimaging Analysis: From Data to Diagnosis” explores the transformative role of advanced and multimodal neuroimaging and sophisticated analytical pipelines in bridging the gap between complex neuroimaging data and accurate clinical diagnosis. Furthermore, this Collection aims to highlight studies that move beyond descriptive imaging, seeking instead to extract actionable biomarkers that inform diagnosis, prognosis, and personalized treatment strategies.

Particular focus is placed on the following:

• Integrative analysis of multimodal MRI, PET, EEG-fMRI or MRSI;
• Development and validation of novel image processing methods and pipelines;
• Identification of imaging-based biomarkers for neurological and psychiatric disorders;
• Advanced neuroimaging research connecting imaging findings to clinical outcomes and therapeutic response.

Moreover, this Collection recognizes the importance of methodological transparency, reproducibility, and the ethical challenges of data-driven diagnostic tools. Contributors are encouraged to discuss limitations, standardization efforts, and strategies for responsible clinical implementation of advanced neuroimaging techniques.

This Collection welcomes the submission of original research articles, methodological papers, and comprehensive reviews.

Dr. Igor Petrušić
Guest Editor
