Diagnostic Imaging of Pulmonary Diseases

Dear Colleagues,

Pulmonary diseases remain among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide, and imaging plays a pivotal role in their diagnosis, management, and follow-up. Continuous advances in imaging technology and quantitative approaches are reshaping the way thoracic disorders are detected and characterized, offering new opportunities for precision medicine.

This Special Issue of Diagnostics aims to gather high-quality contributions focusing on diagnostic imaging of pulmonary diseases, aligned with the journal’s scope of clinical and translational diagnostics.

We welcome original research articles, comprehensive reviews, and illustrative case reports addressing a wide range of topics, including conventional and advanced imaging modalities, quantitative imaging, radiomics, artificial intelligence, and novel applications in clinical practice.

Prof. Dr. Marcel Koenigkam Santos
