Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a highly useful modality that noninvasively provides brain structures and signal intensities with a high spatial resolution. In the general clinical setting, the characteristics of brain MRI were visually assessed, while the recent advances in quantitative morphometric pipelines enabled the automatic comprehensive measurements of cortical and subcortical structures and white matter pathways on MRI images. These novel approaches have potentially helped to enhance clinical diagnoses, discover pathophysiological mechanisms, and identify neuroimaging-based biomarkers in various disorders.
In this Special Issue, we look forward to receiving original articles, reviews, and short communications highlighting clinical research on brain MRI in patients with congenital genetic disorders, chromosomal disorders, neurodevelopmental diseases, psychological disorders, perinatal disorders, and systemic disorders (such as endocrinologic disorders, autoimmunologic disorders, and malignant disorders). We also welcome receiving original articles on novel statistical approaches or methodological technologies of brain MRI.

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.
