Women’s Special Issue Series: Breast Imaging—Update and New Approaches toward Diagnosis and Treatment

Dear Colleagues,

Breast cancer is the cause of most female cancer deaths in the Western world, with early detection of cancer being pivotal for improved prognosis and survival. Imaging plays a key role in breast cancer detection and staging, and helps guiding treatment decisions. Currently established breast-imaging modalities comprise mammography, digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT), ultrasound, contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). With recent significant advances in techniques and data analysis, such as the possibility to enhance medical imaging, other modalities are in active development and evaluation. This Special Issue of Diagnostics with a focus on “Breast Imaging: update and new approaches toward diagnosis and treatment” invites submissions relating to recent advances, current possibilities and emerging techniques in breast imaging. We welcome submissions from all authors, irrespective of gender.
