Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) are revolutionizing the field of medical imaging, offering transformative potential for early and accurate cancer diagnosis. This Special Issue explores how AI-driven technologies, including deep learning algorithms, convolutional neural networks (CNNs), and computer-aided detection systems, are enhancing the interpretation of radiological data from modalities such as MRI, CT, PET, and X-ray. By automating tumour detection, segmentation, and classification, these tools minimize human error, accelerate diagnostic workflows, and uncover subtle patterns imperceptible to the human eye. Key studies highlight AI's ability to improve sensitivity and specificity in identifying malignancies, particularly in breast, lung, and prostate cancers, while reducing false positives and unnecessary biopsies.

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.
