Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
PET/CT is becoming increasingly relevant for cancer diagnosis and assessing the response to treatment. In recent years, the role of PET/CT for the evaluation of a high number of diseases has emerged, particularly for neoplastic conditions. The unique feature of this hybrid imaging modality to combine both anatomical and functional information is fundamental for the assessment of neoplasm. Moreover, the use of different positron emitter tracers can provide knowledge about different metabolic pathways, extending the field of PET/CT application. Lastly, the rising use of radiomics in both conventional and hybrid imaging is constantly providing new diagnostic perspectives.
In this Special Issue of Diagnostics, entitled “PET/CT Imaging in Cancers”, we welcome original scientific contributions or review papers that focus on innovative clinical and preclinical approaches for the PET/CT imaging of cancers.
