Novel PET Radiopharmaceuticals: Molecular Probes for Personalized Imaging

Dear Colleagues,

The emerging role of novel radiopharmaceuticals for PET imaging allows the opportunity to investigate and depict a large number of diseases, enlarging the fields of application of PET/CT and PET/MRI from oncology to infectious diseases, neuro-oncology, and to the evaluation of neurodegenerative diseases.

For this reason, the accurate knowledge of synthesis, availability, and in vivo biodistribution of these novel molecular probes is of utmost importance for physicians and professionals.

Beyond scientific papers, focused on specific clinical settings, an accurate collection of PET tracers in a single volume is still missing; moreover, it is necessary to cover all aspects of these tracers in order to assess their biochemical peculiarities, diagnostic overlapping, and efficacy.

For these reasons, a monography with several chapters focused on peculiar aspects of these molecular probes is needed.

Suitable topics include but are not limited to synthesis, kinetics, biodistribution of PET radiopharmaceuticals, and their current applications.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
