description Numerous medical imaging modalities are clinically available and widely used in disease diagnosis and monitoring therapy response. Imaging data are also increasingly being used for constructing patient-specific computational models to inform design and evaluation of devices, and for personalized planning of interventions. Several of these imaging modalities – e.g., ultrasound imaging, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) – can also provide real-time image data. In concert with advances in therapy delivery devices and systems, this real-time capability has enabled image-guided therapies, where multiple image series are acquired during a procedure and are used for therapy guidance. This special issue presents six research studies to highlight recent advances in this research area.
