Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue of Journal of Clinical Medicine, entitled “PET/CT Imaging in Oncology: Clinical Updates and Prospects”. In spite of recent advances, significant developments are still required in order to consider most, if not all, cancers curable ailments. The precise management of cancers requires timely detection of the cancer, and of both response and recurrence. Here, PET/CT employing various radiotracers has proven pivotal, as can be seen in its recommendation in the NCCN guidelines for various tumors. However, many areas of PET molecular imaging are undergoing active investigations to make progress in the detection of various molecular targets, and also to improve the general integration of molecular imaging into the workflow of oncologic management. This Special Issue focuses on clinical applications of PET/CT imaging in cancers and aims to cover future prospects in PET imaging, including, but not limited to, newer radiotracers, artificial intelligence, novel targets, radiomics, and PET/CT in synchronous malignancies. We look forward to your contributions.
Dr. Ahmad Shariftabrizi
