Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to contribute your recent research on the newest ultrasound applications, such as viscosity or the contrast-enhanced ultrasound technique, used in the diagnosis of liver fibrosis and diffuse thyroid disease, respectively, nodular pathology in the liver, thyroid or testes.
Currently, complementary applications to conventional ultrasounds are exceptional imaging techniques, using different advanced software. There is sufficient evidence regarding the successful contribution of elastography in different areas of internal medicine, such as the evaluation of liver fibrosis and risk stratification of thyroid and testicular nodules, which ultimately reduces the need for fine needle biopsies. Thus, new techniques have emerged, such as the novel viscosity evaluation and the contrast-enhanced ultrasonography, bringing new, additional data regarding the qualities of tissue, which impacts decision making in the medical environment.
From a clinical point of view, this Special Issue aims to provide information regarding the application of ultrasounds in decision-making processes.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include, but not limited to, the following:
- Defining normal in visco technique;
- Viscosity in diffuse thyroid disease;
- Viscosity in diffuse liver disease;
- Multiparametric ultrasound diagnosis of thyroid disease;
- Multiparametric ultrasound diagnosis of parathyroid disease;
- Multiparametric ultrasound diagnosis of renal disease;
- Multiparametric ultrasound diagnosis of testicular pathology;
- Clinical applications of CEUS.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Prof. Dr. Dana Stoian

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. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.
