This collection aims to serve as an introduction for the broader npj Imaging readership to radiopharmaceutical imaging and therapy, known as ‘radiotheranostics’. This field has undergone a renaissance, with keen and rapidly growing interest from both academia and industry. By pairing precision diagnostics with targeted therapy, radiotheranostics is set to open a new frontier in cancer treatment.

Metabolic imaging stands at the forefront of precision medicine, providing an unparalleled window into the biochemical and functional landscapes that define health and disease. This special npj Imaging collection will showcase groundbreaking advances in metabolic imaging technologies, methodologies, and applications that are shaping the future of diagnostics and therapy monitoring.

npj Imaging is an online, open-access journal dedicated to publishing impactful and high-quality content on all aspects of imaging research across scales and the translational pipeline.

We encourage authors to submit videos as figures to support and showcase their research. Please see the submission guidelines for more information.
