Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Differently from CNNs which only exploit local features in each level, transformers are designed to capture a long range of information. This aspect is currently receiving great interest in the medical imaging field, where the global information of images plays a key role in the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of diseases.
The aim of this Special Issue is to collect contributions which take into account the current advances in the application of transformer models in the medical imaging field, with the intent of expanding the state-of-the-art and proposing novel approaches exploring the limitations and advantages of these novel emerging architectures.

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 2300 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.
