Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
New tracers (PSMA, FES, FAPI, and so on), advanced and innovative positron emission tomography (PET) technology, such as PET/MRI, improved detectors, and software technology are now available, enhancing PET applications and reducing radiotracer`s dose and scanning time. Additionally, in recent decades, several steps have been accomplished in the nuclear medicine therapy scenario (especially for theragnostic applications) with wider applications, approval, and reduced side effects, towards precision medicine. Both diagnostic (PET) and therapeutic applications of nuclear medicine can be magnified by artificial intelligence approaches.
This Special Issue aims to summarize the most promising technical and clinical applications/improvements in PET imaging and nuclear medicine therapy, with case reports, original papers, and reviews. To enhance the acceptance of molecular imaging diagnosis and therapy, new promising applications of artificial intelligence shall be presented: it is fundamental to deliver (and confirm) more evidence in the literature to further accelerate the use of artificial intelligence applications as well as the diffusion of new diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.
In this Special Issue, we will collect case reports, original articles, and reviews focused on novel insights in PET and nuclear medicine therapy, covering innovative applications, new radiopharmaceuticals, and technological improvements.

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).
