Medical Imaging Diagnosis of Oral and Maxillofacial Diseases

Dear Colleagues,

Advances in medical imaging have transformed the diagnosis, treatment planning, and follow-up of oral and maxillofacial diseases. From conventional radiography to cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), dental-dedicated magnetic resonance imaging (ddMRI), and emerging artificial intelligence (AI)–driven approaches, imaging is central to diagnosis and treatment planning. This Special Issue, “Medical Imaging Diagnosis of Oral and Maxillofacial Diseases”, aims to bring together high-quality research and reviews addressing innovations and challenges in diagnostic imaging. The focus is on the integration of cutting-edge imaging modalities and computational methods for accurate detection, characterization, and risk assessment of diseases affecting the jaws, teeth, temporomandibular joint, salivary glands, and associated structures. We welcome submissions on clinical applications, imaging protocols, AI algorithms, 3D reconstruction, and interdisciplinary approaches that enhance diagnostic precision and patient care. The purpose is to highlight current trends and foster future directions in oral and maxillofacial diagnostic imaging.

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. Diagnostics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2600 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.
