Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Ultrasound tomography is a revolutionary technique developed in the last decade in medical US imaging. Different from the traditional US imaging based on pulse-echo reflection, it uses ring transducers to collect 360-degree reflection and transmission signals to solve the wave equation. By using all the signals, it can reconstruct not only reflection images, like the B-mode US image, but also functional images including sound speed and attenuation images. These functional images are important in the diagnosis of breast cancer for distinguishing between malignant and benign tumors. Now, ultrasound tomography is widely used in clinical practice such as in breast, musculoskeletal and brain imaging. This Special Issue is aimed at those interested in the research or application of ultrasound tomography. Some of the papers in this SI have been recommended from 5th MUST workshop, which will be held from 12th to 14th June, 2026, in Wuhan, China.

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.
