Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We invite researchers, clinicians, and experts in the field to contribute to this Special Issue focusing on the crucial role of endoscopy in the diagnosis of gastrointestinal disorders. This Special Issue aims to explore the latest advancements, challenges, and future directions regarding the utilization of endoscopy as a diagnostic tool for various gastrointestinal conditions.
Endoscopy plays a pivotal role in the accurate and targeted diagnosis of gastrointestinal disorders. It allows for the direct visualization and examination of the digestive tract and enables the identification of abnormalities, such as ulcers, polyps, tumors, and inflammation. Furthermore, endoscopy offers the opportunity for biopsy collection, thus aiding in the detection of gastrointestinal cancers and guiding personalized treatment strategies.
We encourage the submission of papers that cover a wide range of topics, including, but not limited to, AI-assisted endoscopy, advanced imaging techniques, innovative endoscopic procedures, therapeutic interventions, and outcome assessments. Original research articles, reviews, and case studies that contribute to our understanding of the role of endoscopy in gastrointestinal disorder diagnosis are welcomed.
Join us in this Special Issue in order to advance our knowledge and contribute to the development of improved diagnostic approaches in gastrointestinal medicine. Submissions should adhere to the journal's guidelines and will undergo a rigorous peer-review process. Together, let us enhance patient care and outcomes by motivating advancements in endoscopy.
