Special Issue Information

Dear Colleague,

This Special Issue explores the transformative impact of deep learning and digital modeling technologies within the field of biomedicine. As artificial intelligence continues to evolve, its applications in healthcare are becoming increasingly sophisticated, promising enhanced diagnostics, personalized treatment strategies, and improved patient outcomes.

It includes, but is not limited to, the following fields:

Deep learning algorithms: innovative approaches using neural networks and machine learning techniques tailored for medical imaging, genomics, and clinical data analysis.

Digital twins in healthcare: the application of digital twin technology to create virtual representations of patients or biological systems, enabling personalized medicine and real-time monitoring.

Predictive analytics: techniques for forecasting disease progression and treatment responses based on historical data, enhancing decision-making processes in clinical settings.

Integration with bioinformatics: utilization of deep learning in the processing of complex biological data, leading to advances in drug discovery and biomarker identification.

Ethics and regulation: considerations surrounding the ethical implications and regulatory challenges posed by the integration of AI in medicinal practices.

Interdisciplinary collaborations: the importance of cross-disciplinary teamwork involving data scientists, clinicians, and biomedical researchers to foster innovation in biomedicine.

The goal is to showcase cutting-edge research and emerging technologies that bridge deep learning and biomedicine.

It will inspire collaborations and dialog among researchers, healthcare professionals, and industry stakeholders.

This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of current advancements and ongoing challenges in the application of deep learning and digital modeling in biomedicine, emphasizing the potential to revolutionize healthcare delivery and improve patient care.

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. Bioengineering is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2700 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.

Objective: We aim to construct an artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted nasal endoscopy diagnostic system capable of preliminary differentiation and identification of nasal neoplasia properties, as well as intraoperative tracking, providing an important basis for nasal endoscopic surgery. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 1050 video data of nasal endoscopic surgeries involving four types of nasal neoplasms. Using Deep Snake, U-Net, and Att-Res2-UNet, we developed a nasal neoplastic detection network based on endoscopic images. After deep learning, the optimal network was selected as the initialization model and trained to optimize the SiamMask online tracking algorithm. Results: The Att-Res2-UNet network demonstrated the highest accuracy and precision, with the most accurate recognition results. The overall accuracy of the model established by us achieved an overall accuracy similar to that of residents (0.9707 ± 0.00984), while slightly lower than that of rhinologists (0.9790 ± 0.00348). SiamMask’s segmentation range was consistent with rhinologists, with a 99% compliance rate and a neoplasm probability value ≥ 0.5. Conclusions: This study successfully established an AI-assisted nasal endoscopic diagnostic system that can preliminarily identify nasal neoplasms from endoscopic images and automatically track them in real time during surgery, enhancing the efficiency of endoscopic diagnosis and surgery.
