Given the success of the Research Topic "Precision Medical Imaging for Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment", we are pleased to launch a second volume. The ability to detect and diagnose medical conditions accurately and at the earliest stage of disease is often critical for effective treatment and recovery. In this regard, continued developments of medical imaging systems have vastly improved our ability to visualize body tissues and processes, enabling more accurate detection of medical conditions. However, recent trends for personalized or precision medicine, i.e. delivering “the right treatment to the right patient at the right time”, imposes new requirements for imaging modalities and calls for new approaches to provide the highest efficacy in diagnostic and predictive capabilities. The main goal of this Research Topic is to improve and expand readers' knowledge of novel medical imaging techniques and trends that have a direct impact on the advancement of precision medicine in cancer diagnosis and treatment, and incorporating it in clinical reality. This Research Topic highlights the latest advances in medical imaging for cancer diagnosis including those that open up new possibilities in the field of precision medicine. The implementation of precision medicine requires a shift towards organ-targeted high-resolution, high-sensitivity imaging methods that provide disease-specific information at the diagnostic stage. Precision imaging is also intertwined with the development of new indicators that not only visualize disease but also pinpoint its specific type, greatly improving adherence to treatment plans and ultimately saving lives.
