Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is our pleasure to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue “Diagnostic Imaging in Gastrointestinal and Liver Diseases”.
Imaging is critical in the management of gastrointestinal and liver diseases because it allows for early detection, accurate diagnosis, and disease progression monitoring. A general approach for evaluating a patient with gastrointestinal or liver disease begins with either an endoscopy or an transabdominal ultrasound, followed by more sensitive imaging modalities used for the detection of structural changes, such as with endoscopic ultrasound, computer tomography, or MRI.
Over the last decade, we have witnessed an increase in non-invasive ultrasound techniques, such as contrast-enhanced ultrasound or elastography for evaluating the liver and advances in endoscopic ultrasound imaging (which have allowed us to better understand and diagnose gastrointestinal diseases).
This Special Issue, “Diagnostic Imaging in Gastrointestinal and Liver Diseases”, aims to include research that will advance current knowledge in this field. The papers should explore diagnostic challenges, present new challenges or validate existing ones, and provide new insights into how imaging can improve the health and quality of life in subjects with gastrointestinal and liver diseases.
In this Special Issue, original research articles, reviews, and case presentations are welcome.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
