Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Biomedical imaging involves a range of advanced techniques used to produce visual representations of different tissues and organs and physiological processes of the human body. These modalities are fundamental to diagnostic medicine, therapeutic planning and biomedical research, enabling non-invasive visualization and characterization of internal structures of the human body.
Recent developments in imaging technologies, computational methodologies and hardware innovation have significantly enhanced performance, versatility and clinical relevance of diagnostic imaging systems, allowing deeper tissue penetration and improved functional and molecular characterization.
In light of these advancements, several key areas of innovation have emerged, each contributing uniquely to the evolution of diagnostic imaging, such as spectroscopy-based imaging techniques (i.e., fluorescence imaging, Raman spectroscopy, near- and mid-infrared spectroscopy), advanced optical imaging technologies (i.e., coherent Raman scattering microspectroscopy), and high-performance imaging modalities for disease detection and monitoring (magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, positron emission tomography and ultrasound).
This Special Issue will place particular emphasis on emerging biomedical imaging technologies and explore their diverse applications across clinical diagnostics, therapeutic monitoring and biomedical research.
The objective of this Special Issue is to bring together researchers and clinicians to identify future directions in biomedical imaging science and technology contributing to early disease diagnosis and biomarker identification, facilitating in vivo studies and minimally invasive diagnostics and enabling comprehensive assessment of pathological conditions and longitudinal monitoring of therapeutic outcomes.

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.
