Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is dedicated to the in-depth exploration of imaging studies of gastrointestinal diseases. Gastrointestinal diseases comprise a complex and diverse group of diseases of which the diagnosis and treatment require a comprehensive multidisciplinary approach. This Special Issue covers the imaging manifestations of various gastrointestinal diseases, including, but not limited to, inflammatory bowel disease, intestinal obstruction, irritable bowel syndrome, gastric cancer, colorectal cancer, etc. In addition, it will also delve into the specific applications of imaging in gastrointestinal diseases, including, but not limited to, CT, MRI, ultrasound, endoscopy, etc.
Overall, we aim to provide an all-round, multi-angle platform for readers to gain an in-depth understanding of the current status of and development trends in imaging research on gastrointestinal diseases. We look forward to your participation in and contribution to jointly promoting the advancement of imaging research on gastrointestinal diseases.
