Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Radiology has emerged as one of the most dynamic and rapidly evolving medical fields in recent years. Thanks to improvements in both hardware and software, techniques such as computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and ultrasound allow for non-invasive and highly precise exploration of nearly all anatomical regions, becoming fundamental in the diagnostic and therapeutic pathways of most pathologies. This Special Issue on “Modern Medical Imaging in Disease Diagnosis Applications”, therefore, will focus on original research papers and comprehensive reviews that explore the integration of engineering principles with medical imaging to advance disease diagnosis and patient care. Topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- High-resolution imaging: advanced MRI and CT techniques that provide unprecedented detail of anatomical structures, pathological and physiological processes, enabling earlier and more accurate diagnosis.
- Contrast media: recent advancements in the development and application of contrast agents, such as the introduction of high-relaxivity agents that have opened up numerous improvements in magnetic resonance imaging diagnostics.
- Artificial intelligence (AI) in imaging: exploring the role of AI algorithms in image analysis, including large language models, for the automated detection of abnormalities, improved diagnostic accuracy of radiologists, and personalized treatment planning.
- Radiomics: Exploring the role of high-dimensional quantitative features extracted from medical images to uncover patterns beyond visual interpretation.
This Special Issue seeks to showcase the interplay between engineering innovation and medical imaging, offering insights into how emerging technologies can redefine diagnostic pathways and improve patient outcomes. We welcome contributions from researchers, engineers, and healthcare professionals working at the forefront of this interdisciplinary field.

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.
