Innovations in Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging
This special issue belongs to the section “Radiobiology and Nuclear Medicine“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, titled "Innovations in Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging", focuses on the latest advances, applications, and translational developments in the field of nuclear medicine. It aims to highlight novel diagnostic and therapeutic strategies that integrate molecular imaging techniques such as PET, SPECT, hybrid modalities (PET/CT, SPECT/CT, PET/MRI), and emerging radiopharmaceutical approaches.
I invite you for original research articles and comprehensive reviews addressing technological innovations, image quantification methods, artificial intelligence applications, radiopharmaceutical development, and clinical implementation studies. Contributions that explore theranostics, personalized dosimetry, or the translation of molecular imaging biomarkers from preclinical research to clinical practice.
The goal is to bring together cutting-edge research that advances the diagnostic and therapeutic impact of nuclear medicine. We particularly encourage interdisciplinary contributions that bridge the gap between physics, chemistry, and clinical application to improve precision medicine.

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. Life is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). 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.
