Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Advanced neuroimaging approaches are being used as valuable additional tools in characterizing brain lesions along with conventional imaging techniques. The importance of advanced neuroimaging approaches is that they can provide information regarding the underlying pathophysiology of various brain lesions. Nowadays, both computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) include modern neuroimaging techniques, like dual-energy CT and photon-counting CT, or perfusion MRI, functional MRI, diffusion-weighted MRI and diffusion tensor imaging, MRI spectroscopy, and MRI fingerprinting. Advanced approaches like radiomics analysis applied to CT and MRI images are increasingly being used for brain lesion characterization. Combining advanced neuroimaging approaches along with artificial intelligence techniques such as machine learning and deep learning algorithms will further promote and accelerate the adaptation of advanced neuroimaging methods in routine clinical neuroimaging. This Special Issue titled "Advanced Neuroimaging Approaches for Brain Lesion" will include the application of advanced neuroimaging approaches for characterization of brain lesions (tumors, demyelinating changes, ischemic stroke, hemorrhage, and infectious lesions) and neurodegenerative disorders, as well as monitoring of treatment-induced brain lesions.

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. 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.
