Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Gastrointestinal tumors are the most common of the rare non-epithelial neoplasms of the gastrointestinal tract. These tumors are usually classified into four groups of risk, by combining information from physical examination, laboratory tests, imaging, and tissue biopsy. Different treatments are then offered according to the risk. The advent of anatomic and functional diagnostic imaging has improved the non-invasive characterization of tissues and different imaging biomarkers have been recently developed to classify patients’ risk.

The purpose of this Special Issue is to present the most recent innovations in the development of imaging biomarkers based on deep learning algorithms. These imaging biomarkers can exploit both radiological and digital pathological images. We encourage the submission of studies that are aimed at optimizing detection, risk stratification, and the response to treatment of gastrointestinal tumors by developing imaging biomarkers based on different imaging inputs, i.e., radiological and pathological images. We also encourage the submission of multi-omics studies.

Dr. Valentina Giannini
Guest Editor

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.
