Future Trends in Radioisotope-Based Imaging 2.0

Dear Colleagues,

Radioisotope-based imaging is a rapidly growing field that thrives on the constant development of new methods to detect, characterize, and better understand diseases. The recent past has witnessed a surge of new technological advancements that have touched every aspect of the field, such as the development, validation, and clinical implementation of new radiopharmaceuticals, automated radiopharmaceutical systems, new hybrid scanner technology, and novel approaches to process and analyze imaging data.

These developments, in addition to others, have broadened the role of radioisotope imaging in modern patient care by creating new diagnostic platforms in numerous clinical fields, including cardiology, neurology, and oncology. As such, radioisotope-based imaging is increasingly supporting clinical decision-making, monitoring the response to therapies, and ultimately improving therapeutic outcomes.

This Special Issue highlights the current developments, and we invite submissions of original research and comprehensive reviews on new radiopharmaceuticals, next-generation scanner technology, novel approaches on image data processing, and any area of research that will shape future trends in radioisotope-based imaging.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Diagnostics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
