Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nuclear medicine is a scientific field that, in recent years, has experienced expanding application and is constantly growing in terms of importance and extension. This particular branch of medicine is characterized by the ability to evaluate the metabolic behavior of different tissues, cells and organs and has demonstrated its usefulness for the assessment of a wide range of conditions. From a diagnostic point of view, its role in the diagnosis, evaluation of response to treatment, follow-up and ability to drive the therapeutic approach of different diseases has been proven in many different papers. Interestingly, new tracers able to analyze different metabolic pathways, and therefore to shape new fields of research, are constantly being produced and need to prove their value. In addition, texture analysis, radiomics and machine learning are new scientific tools that are changing nuclear medicine and the methods of imaging analysis in general. Moreover, radionuclide therapy is experiencing an increase in its application and new research highlighting its role in the management of different diseases and the development of new therapeutic agents is being published almost every day.
The aim of this Special Issue is, therefore, to collect research that aims to investigate new findings in the nuclear medicine field in both diagnostic and therapeutic settings.
