Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue explores the latest advancements in imaging technologies for the diagnosis of kidney diseases, with a special focus on ultrasound innovations—including contrast-enhanced ultrasound, elastography, and AI-assisted analysis—alongside state-of-the-art MRI, CT, and nuclear medicine techniques. It aims to highlight how these multimodal approaches improve the detection, characterization, and monitoring of renal pathologies. The Special Issue also discusses challenges in clinical implementation and future directions, emphasizing precision diagnostics and non-invasive strategies for enhanced patient care.
