Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce a forthcoming Life Special Issue dedicated to “Advances in Female Imaging: Focus on Breast and Gynecological Diagnostics”. This issue aims to highlight recent developments, challenges, and breakthroughs in imaging technologies and methodologies used in the diagnosis, staging, and management of breast and gynecological conditions. The role of imaging in women’s health continues to evolve, with innovations in modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, MRI, PET/CT, and AI-driven diagnostics significantly enhancing clinical decision-making. This Special Issue invites contributions that explore novel imaging techniques, comparative studies, AI applications, radiomics, early detection strategies, and interdisciplinary approaches to breast and pelvic imaging.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Imaging biomarkers in breast and gynecological cancers;
- Advances in MRI and ultrasound for pelvic pathology;
- AI and machine learning applications in imaging for female patients;
- Screening and diagnostic protocols for breast cancer;
- Imaging in fertility assessment and reproductive health;
- Radiomics and quantitative imaging in gynecology;
- Multimodal imaging approaches and comparative effectiveness;
- Challenges in imaging of benign vs. malignant lesions;
- Role of imaging in treatment planning and monitoring.
We welcome original research articles, reviews, clinical studies, and case reports that provide significant insights into this important area of diagnostic medicine.
We look forward to receiving your valuable contributions to this Special Issue.
