Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Currently, abdominal ultrasound is used in various ways, including contrast-enhanced elastography and endoscopic ultrasound, and is becoming a central part of the diagnosis of abdominal diseases. However, it is also true that there are still areas of abdominal diseases that have not been fully explored. It is necessary to focus on this area to advance the use of diagnostic ultrasound. For this reason, we are launching a Special Issue to collect related papers.
In this series, we will present cases with many lessons learned regarding liver, biliary, and pancreatic tumors, which are the main abdominal diseases, with a focus on external ultrasound and endoscopic ultrasound and will organize the information obtained to provide an objective and in-depth perspective on how to prevent misdiagnosis and draw conclusions that can be immediately applied to general clinical practice. To supplement this series, we will also include a detailed description of the peritoneum, mesentery, and omentum, which are always difficult to diagnose in daily clinical practice, as well as key points in the diagnosis of these pathologies.
We welcome you to submit your research work to this Special Issue.
Dr. Hiroko Naganuma
Guest Editor
