Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Imaging holds an irreplaceable role in the routinary clinical practice. Nowadays, almost every clinician for diagnosis needs imaging confirmation, and two techniques that in recent years have most experienced an enhancement of their diagnostic capabilities are MRI and PET. With these concepts in mind, many researchers are developing methodologies and applications to further improve the accuracy of imaging. Among the research fields, we have the applications of artificial intelligence, big data, radiomics, and texture analysis in medical images. Using these techniques, much more hidden information can be extracted from the images than via simple qualitative or semi-quantitative evaluation. This research topic is of paramount importance since the workloads in the radiology and nuclear medicine departments are increasing more and more. The standardization of the reporting systems in MRI and PET is another crucial issue, both for increasing the reliability of the reports and for accelerating clinical activity in radiology departments. Other advances are driven by new radiotracers and new hybrid techniques in nuclear medicine, such as PET/MRI. Anyway, these are only a few of the new trends that are shaping the imaging of tomorrow. The aim of this Special Issue is to highlight new techniques that can further improve the accuracy and the quality of medical imaging with MRI and PET, giving an aid not only to clinicians but also to radiologists. This Special Issue welcomes full research articles, case reports, and reviews focused on advances in MR and PET imaging.
