Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Optical Imaging has attracted attention in academic circles due to its ability to provide physical and functional medical information. There are many branches of optical-related imaging technology, such as Optical Coherence Tomography, Photoacoustic Imaging, and Multi-photon Microscopy, etc.

For this Special Issue, “Application and Prospect of Optical-Related Imaging Technology in Biomedical Imaging”, we invite submissions of original papers and reviews investigating the applications of and prospects for optical-related imaging technology in biomedical imaging and molecular imaging. The submitted papers should have broad research prospects, with independent insights, and experiments with reliable data. Contributions are welcome in the form of reports, technical applications with a scientific basis, and experimental bulletins of phased scientific research results.

Prof. Dr. Qingliang Zhao
Guest Editor

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.

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the asymmetry of optic nerve head parameters measured by confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (CSLO) in myopic anisometropic eyes. Methods: A total of 36 eyes of 18 healthy myopic anisometropic subjects, defined as cases in which the difference in spherical equivalent (SE) between both eyes is ≥1.5D, were recruited. The optic nerve heads were measured using the Heidelberg retina tomograph II (Heidelberg Engineering, GmBH, Heidelberg, Germany). Differences in optic nerve head parameters between more myopic eyes and fellow eyes were evaluated using the paired-sample t-test. Pearson correlation and multiple linear regression analysis were used to evaluate factors associated with cup/disc ratio (CDR). Results: The cup/disc area ratio (mean difference 0.07 ± 0.11, P = 0.027), horizontal (mean difference 0.10 ± 0.17, P = 0.033), and vertical CDR (mean difference 0.13 ± 0.18, P = 0.008) were significantly smaller in more myopic eye. Larger disc area was independently and significantly associated with larger cup/disc area ratio (β = 0.561, P = 0.001) and vertical CDR (β = 0.499, P = 0.03). Conclusion: The CDR, horizontal, and vertical CDR were significantly smaller in the more myopic eyes in myopic anisometropic subjects. Further studies with larger samples are needed to confirm the asymmetry of the optic nerve head in myopic anisometropic eyes. Full article
