Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The purpose of this Special Issue is to publish latest scientific discoveries and/or engineering developments in imaging, data science, biological technologies and relevant clinical and translational methods or tools that address contemporary problems in understanding the fundamental biology, pathology, risk assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and/or monitoring disease status for cancer or other diseases.
The Special Issue will be accepting contributions (both original articles and reviews) mainly focus on the following topics (but not limited to):
- Imaging applications in clinical trials, clinical and translational research, and/or patient care;
- The integration of modern computational or integrative informatics methods (e.g., machine learning/vision, deep learning, neural networks, machine intelligence, integrated bioinformatics, predictive analytics, etc.) into preclinical and clinical methods to enhance/optimize utility to detection, diagnosis, workflow, or treatment monitoring;
- Development, integration and validation of new molecular diagnosis, imaging systems, technologies, methods, assays, or devices, related component technologies, image processing methods, and development of informatics tools;
- Multi-modal imaging for diagnosis and patient care;
- Multi-modal image-guided cancer or other diseases’ intervention;
- Combined biological and imaging biomarkers for diagnosis and treatment;
- Quantification methods;
- Affordable and point of care systems, methods, tools, or devices for low resource settings, or underserved populations;
- Knowledge-based systems;
- Analytical and clinical validation using clinical samples, and correlation studies

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.
