Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women and the 2nd leading cause of female cancer deaths and thus remains a major medical and socioeconomic burden. Medical imaging has always been an integral part in breast cancer care, ranging from diagnosis and staging to therapy monitoring and post-therapeutic follow-up. Imaging modalities for diagnosis and staging of breast cancer comprise mammography, digital breast tomosynthesis, ultrasound, contrast-enhanced mammography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), nuclear medicine imaging, as well as hybrid techniques such as PET/CT and PET/MRI. Radiomics/-genomics image analyis and artificial intelligence may aid in better differentiating between benign and malignant entities, and patient characteristics, to better stratify patients according to risk for disease, thereby allowing for more precise imaging and screening.
The Special Issue of Diagnostics with a focus on “Multimodality Breast Imaging” invites submission of the recent advances, current possibilities, and emerging techniques in breast imaging.
