Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The rapid integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and bioengineering into radiology has opened transformative possibilities, from optimizing diagnostic accuracy to redefining standards for patient safety and accessibility. The full potential of these advances hinges on their responsible translation into clinical practice.

This Special Issue highlights cutting-edge research at the intersection of computational radiology, AI-driven medical imaging, and radiation protection, which seeks contributions that address critical challenges in:

  • AI-powered medical image processing (e.g., reconstruction, segmentation, and artifact reduction);
  • Radiation dose optimization and safety frameworks for diverse populations;
  • Equitable technology deployment to bridge global disparities in imaging access;
  • Quality assurance tools for robust and interpretable AI clinical integration.

We encourage contributions that showcase validated AI applications with clear pathways to clinical implementation, robust evaluation methodologies, and measurable improvements in diagnostic accuracy or patient outcomes. We invite original research and reviews that combine engineering innovation with clinical translation. By uniting perspectives from radiology and AI, this collection aims to accelerate the development of safer, more accessible, and ethically grounded imaging solutions for the future.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
