Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In 1895, Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen discovered X-rays; a year later, Henri Becquerel described “mysterious” rays, later termed as radioactivity, originating from uranium. Both types of radiation rapidly found their way in medicine, stimulated of course by Röntgen's first "medical" X-ray image of his wife's hand (with ring), taken on 22 December 1895. Now, more than 125 years later, radiology is firmly embedded in the diagnostic pathway of nearly all diseases. To a lesser extent, the same is true for nuclear medicine. In addition, imaging of molecular interactions plays an increasingly important role in unravelling disease mechanisms. Over the years, there has been substantial progress in imaging equipment, resulting in state-of-the-art CT, MRI, SPECT and PET scanners. Such progress is still ongoing, with large axial field of view (total body) PET scanners being the latest major development. In parallel with these developments in imaging instrumentation, image analysis techniques have similarly evolved with artificial intelligence. Better scanners, more refined analytical techniques and a wider range of radiopharmaceuticals have resulted in an ever increasing number of clinical applications.
This Special Issue, ‘Recent Advancements in Nuclear Medicine and Radiology’ aims to present an exclusive collection of comprehensive reviews and invites researchers to submit their review papers covering the novel developments and advancements in nuclear medicine and radiology.

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. Journal of Clinical Medicine 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.
