Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Novel technologies are spreading worldwide with a great impact on medical applications.
Medical imaging is a key component in the delivery of safe and efficient healthcare across the world and novel technologies offer unique information that can enhance our understanding of disease processes and provide clinical decision support.
Several technologies impact the imaging field, particularly radiomics and AI.
Radiomics is a rapidly developing field of research based on a quantitative approach to medical imaging, which aims to enhance the existing data available to clinicians by means of advanced mathematical analysis.
On the other hand, AI is transforming medical imaging by enhancing diagnostic accuracy and efficiency, enabling early disease detection, and facilitating personalized treatment plans. AI algorithms can analyze large datasets of images, identify patterns, and detect abnormalities that might be missed by the human eye. This technology supports radiologists and pathologists in their work, ultimately leading to improved patient outcomes.
We are pleased to invite you to share with us your data and opinions about the impact of novel technologies, with a special focus on AI tools and radiomics, on the fields of radiology and nuclear medicine.
This Special Issue aims to learn how these new technologies are influencing imaging procedures, with potential benefits and disadvantages.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome.
I look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Maria Ricci
Guest Editor
