Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Diagnostic imaging plays an important role in determining treatment and surgical policies. Recent advances in diagnostic imaging equipment, exemplified by CT and ultrasound methods, have enabled us to obtain clearer and higher-quality images with better spatial resolution than ever before. Endoscopic ultrasound is particularly useful for treating gastrointestinal tumors and small tumors of the biliopancreatic system. In recent years, new technologies devices, whether MRI, PET-CT, or radioisotopes, have emerged to differentiate between inflammation and tumors. In addition, AI has been developed to support diagnostic imaging such as endoscopy, ultrasound, and CT examinations, and attempts are being made to improve diagnostic performance, sometimes surpassing that of specialists, and the development of highly accurate diagnostic imaging technology is expected.
The purpose of this Special issue is to feature reports about innovative technologies that enable the detection and diagnosis of abdominal tumors using CT, ultrasound, and other abdominal imaging devices.
