Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Radiomics has emerged as a computational method for the high-dimensional high-throughput extraction and analysis of quantitative imaging biomarkers from medical images. Since its introduction in 2012, computer scientists, researchers, radiologists, and physicians have gravitated towards this new tool and exploited advanced methodologies to discover hidden features behind medical images. Radiomic features have been extensively investigated in a variety of diseases, including but also going beyond the field of oncology; its capabilities in divulging tissue heterogeneity on the basis of the distribution of imaging pixel/voxel intensity have been demonstrated to facilitate the clinical decision-making process and inform precision medical decisions. In particular, radiomics has great potential toward precision diagnosis, such as risk prediction for a particular disease, the classification of lesions, and the severity grading of a disease/symptom. This Special Issue aims to collect systematic reviews, basic research articles, and clinical/technical studies that employ radiomics for applications in the precision diagnosis of human diseases of all kinds.

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.
