Fluorescence Optical Imaging

Dear Colleagues,

Recently, indocyanine-green fluorescence has been established as a useful tool to assess perfusion in diagnosis fluorescence device. We are inviting submission to this Special Issue on Fluorescence Optical Imaging. This area of research has experienced rapid growth over the last ten years. This growth derives, in part, from light-based modalities being non-invasive, safe, and relatively inexpensive, with diagnostic potential. Advances in light sources, detectors, modulation schemes, beam shaping approaches, and numerical algorithms are enabling the development of imaging methods for probing diseases in different body organs. This Special Issue will explore where we are and what the future holds in this exciting area of human health-related research and how and fluorescence optical imaging can be used to treat various diseases. To that end, we invite submissions involving new techniques, methods, applications, and results, as well as review articles. Recently, NIR cameras and fluorescent imaging devices have been studied with a variety of ideas, as well as pathological imaging, and use in surgical neuroimaging microscopes. Fluorescent methods are also actively used in the laparoscope and eye imaging areas. Therefore, optical imaging content related to fluorescent and optic images is important. Fluorescent imaging has been expanding and becoming more accurate with artificial intelligence imaging. Papers related to the fluorescence optical imaging of multiple people are particularly welcome.

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.
