Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent developments and new technical imaging applications need to analysed, including the use of ultra-low-dose (ULD) CT techniques, which allow for imaging of the chest with radiation doses similar to that of a chest X-ray. These techniques, combined with novel reconstruction methods, show promise for use in CT lung cancer screening. Another advancement is the introduction of photon-counting detector (PCD) technology. This technology provides high spatial resolution and low-noise imaging of interstitial lung disease, as well as improved spectral imaging capabilities. These innovations have the potential to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of thoracic imaging. Furthermore, radiomics and artificial intelligence, a rapidly evolving technology, has the potential to support treatment selection and predict oncological outcomes.

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. Diagnostics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
