Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is our pleasure to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue “Diagnostic Imaging of Liver Diseases”
Imaging is critical in the management of liver diseases because it allows for early detection, accurate diagnosis, and monitoring disease progression. A general approach to evaluating a patient with liver disease begins with a simple ultrasound, followed by computer tomography or MRI in inconclusive diagnosis. Liver disease often develops without any signs or symptoms, and it is often detected in the late stages through complications with a significantly poor prognosis.
Over the last decade, we have witnessed an increase in non-invasive ultrasound techniques such as contrast enhanced ultrasound or elastography and advances in imaging that have led to better understanding and diagnosing of liver diseases.
This Special Issue “Diagnostic Imaging of Liver Diseases”, aims to include research that will advance current knowledge in the field of liver diseases. The papers need to explore diagnostic challenges, present new non-invasive elastography techniques or validate existing ones and provide new insights into how imaging can improve health and quality of life in subjects with liver diseases.
In this Special Issue, original research articles, reviews and case presentations are welcome.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
