Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The precise visualization of internal anatomy is a fundamental cornerstone of modern medicine. With the rapid evolution of minimally invasive and robotic-assisted surgeries across various medical disciplines, traditional two-dimensional radiological scans often fall short in providing the necessary spatial depth and structural relationships. Consequently, unexpected anatomical variations—particularly concealed vascular networks and organ topographies—remain a primary cause of severe intraoperative complications.
To bridge this gap, recent engineering breakthroughs in medical imaging, including high-fidelity three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction, artificial intelligence (AI)-driven image segmentation, and virtual surgical planning, are fundamentally transforming clinical workflows. These digital technologies allow for the creation of patient-specific anatomical models, enabling precise preoperative navigation, spatial mapping of hidden anomalies, and substantial risk mitigation during complex procedures.
This Special Issue aims to highlight the latest advancements in medical imaging technologies and their direct translation into clinical practice. We welcome original research, technical evaluations, and comprehensive reviews focusing on novel imaging algorithms, 3D morphological modeling, AI applications in radiology, and the integration of these engineering solutions to enhance the safety and efficacy of diagnostic and surgical interventions.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Advanced 3D reconstruction and visualization techniques for complex internal anatomies.
- Artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms for automated medical image segmentation.
- Engineering applications in preoperative planning, risk simulation, and surgical navigation.
- Advanced imaging modalities for detecting and mapping rare anatomical and vascular variations.
- Clinical translation of digital imaging models in minimally invasive and robotic-assisted surgeries.
- Establishment of standardized morphological imaging datasets for machine learning applications.

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-anonymized 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.
