Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues, 

Colonoscopy is regarded as a main and straightforward clinical diagnosis tool for colon cancer, with regular screening being a critical step in reducing mortality rates. Medical imaging techniques and histological analysis of hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) slides, in addition to this process, are still required for subtle colon cancer examinations. The goal of this Special Issue is to propose novel methods for colon cancer diagnosis using artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning methodologies to analyze multi-modality medical images and clinical health records (EHRs). The following are just a few of the themes covered in this Special Issue:

  • Colon cancer CAD systems;
  • Efficient methods for colon cancer segmentation;
  • Pathways of colorectal cancer development and progression;
  • Colon cancer detection;
  • Biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis in colon cancer;
  • Surgical innovations (latest technologies, and techniques).

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. Diagnostics 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.

Integrating artificial intelligence (AI) tools in the tissue diagnostic workflow will benefit the pathologist and, ultimately, the patient. The generation of such AI tools has two parallel and yet interconnected processes, namely the definition of the pathologist’s task to be delivered in silico, and the software development requirements. In this review paper, we demystify this process, from a viewpoint that joins experienced pathologists and data scientists, by proposing a general pathway and describing the core steps to build an AI digital pathology tool. In doing so, we highlight the importance of the collaboration between AI scientists and pathologists, from the initial formulation of the hypothesis to the final, ready-to-use product. Full article
