Functional and Molecular Imaging of Kidney and Urogenital Disease
This special issue belongs to the section "Medical Imaging and Theranostics".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue on “Functional and Molecular Imaging of Kidney and Urogenital Disease” will cover advances in the fields of ultrasound (US), computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and positron emission tomography (PET/CT or PET/MR), focusing on the role of functional imaging techniques in evaluating oncological and non-oncological urogenital diseases. Submission are invited for papers covering the role of imaging in the early detection, characterization, monitoring and treatment-response evaluation of urogenital tumors and the clinical utility of functional imaging techniques for the assessment of diffuse renal disease including, but not limited to, renal transplantation, renovascular and systemic diseases affecting the kidney (such as diabetes or vasculopathies).
