Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Positron emission tomography (PET) and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) are nuclear imaging methods, capturing molecular and cellular level changes. Concerning neuroimaging, the use of such imaging modalities may provide diagnostic and prognostic information in neuro-oncology and neurodegenerative disorders.
Additionally, artificial intelligence (AI) models may be applied to molecular neuroimaging, both in PET and SPECT, providing additional information to pathophysiology and pathogenesis of disease.
We welcome research and review articles that address the following topics:
- Molecular imaging in neurodegenerative disorders with PET-CT, PET-MRI or SPECT imaging modalities;
- Artificial intelligence models in PET-CT, PET-MRI or SPECT imaging modalities in neurodegenerative disorders;
- Molecular imaging in neuro-oncology with PET-CT, PET-MRI or SPECT imaging modalities;
- Artificial intelligence models in PET-CT, PET-MRI or SPECT imaging modalities in neuro-oncology.
This Special Issue is supervised by Dr Chrissa Sioka and assisted by Dr Alexandros Giannakis (University Hospital of Ioannina).

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
