Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The principles and methods of applied physics have long been applied to Medicine for the design of diagnostic and therapeutic techniques through the use of ionizing and non-ionizing radiation. Medical Physics covers all areas of applied physics research dealing with the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of human diseases. Medical Physics encompasses both experimental and theoretical research and strongly involves computing. This Special Issue is dedicated to new developments in the field of Medical Physics, which includes (but is not limited to) radiation therapy, radiation protection, biomedical imaging, and related topics in health physics and biophysics, including space applications. Topics focusing on theoretical, computational, and experimental approaches to Medical Physics are welcome.

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.
