Progress in the Use of Advanced Imaging for Radiation Oncology

Dear Colleagues,

The field of radiation oncology seeks to improve outcomes of cancer patients by treating their malignancies with ionizing radiation. Imaging is integral to the practice of radiation oncology not only to aid in treatment planning but also for serial response assessment. As technological advances have continued to improve the ability to deliver radiation doses more accurately, this has further increased the need to develop more advanced imaging modalities to better determine the extent of disease involvement as well as the precise localization of surrounding critical normal tissues.

This Special Issue seeks to highlight the increasing use of advanced imaging in radiation oncology and how this may improve the outcomes of patients with cancer. We encourage researchers to submit original research articles, comprehensive reviews, case reports or other report types that do not necessarily fit the previous categories that focus on use of advance imaging modalities that can impact the practice of radiation oncology.

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. Tomography is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2400 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.
