Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Biomedical imaging technologies have substantially increased in number and diversity over the past few years. Important advances in accuracy, sensitivity, and refinement have been possible thanks to technological advances in software and hardware. In particular, cardiovascular disease assessments of anatomy, hemodynamics, and tissue biomarkers have seen considerable improvement, facilitating the stratification of patient risk and therapy. The recent integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning has also been shown to support novel approaches to personalized image-based diagnosis. In addition, image-based computer-assisted diagnosis may help uncover key insights into disease progression and personalized solutions.
This Special Issue aims to explore the most recent progress made in biomedical imaging technologies for cardiovascular disease. It will cover a wide range of topics, including (but not limited to) the following:
- Advances in cardiac echocardiography;
- Advances in cardiac computed tomography;
- Advances in cardiac magnetic resonance;
- Advances in positron emission tomography;
- Advances in cardiovascular image processing;
- Advances in image-guided interventions;
- Advances in personalized cardiac imaging;
- Advances in the integration of medical imaging and computational modeling;
- Advances in biomedical imaging using machine learning and artificial intelligence;
- Advances in experimental cardiac imaging.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Applied Sciences 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 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.
