Clinical Applications of PET/CT: Current Status and Future Perspectives

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue will focus on the diagnostic applications of PET/CT across a broad range of clinical conditions, with particular emphasis on oncologic imaging. We welcome submissions highlighting how PET/CT enhances diagnostic accuracy, supports differential diagnosis, improves staging and restaging, and guides personalised patient management. Studies exploring emerging oncologic radiotracers—such as PSMA-, FAPI-, and SSTR-targeted agents—as well as quantitative PET parameters and novel imaging biomarkers are especially encouraged. By bringing together current evidence and future perspectives, this Special Issue aims to provide an updated overview of the role of PET/CT in contemporary diagnostic practice.
