Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Imaging is frequently pivotal to essential in the management of endocrine diseases and neuroendocrine tumors. During the last two decades, all of us experienced the advent of high-resolution morphological imaging procedures as well as new tools of molecular imaging in several fields of clinical interest. Firstly, this technological improvement implied a higher diagnostic accuracy in disclosing endocrine-related disorders. Furthermore, this relevant advancement in diagnostics has significantly and positively influenced the management and decision making of patients with suspected or/and ascertained malignant or benign endocrine diseases. Indeed, all the areas of endocrinological expertise (i.e., thyroid, parathyroid, pituitary gland, adrenal glands, as well as neuroendocrine tumors) have taken advantage of this imaging development. This Special Issue wishes to summarize the results of the interaction between clinical endocrinologists and imaging procedures, with particular attention to those more recently introduced.
