Biomedical Imaging and Visualization

Dear Colleagues,

Biomedical Imaging and Visualization are intrinsic and ever more critical components of most modern biological and medical research and applications. While the technical scope includes detectors, complete instruments, computing (from algorithms to models) and integrative paradigms, the applications span multiple scales (from single cells to live systems), species (from animals to humans), characteristics (from morphology to function), and of course diseases or treatments thereof (e.g., neuro-, cardio-, vascular, skeletal, diabetes, cancer). Even though the overarching umbrella of this Special Issue is "Informatics" (the journal), its intended scope is not to be limited to only one discipline, modality, application, scale and species, which thus offers an ideal setting for computing-aware material that may cross disciplines and applications boundaries and techniques.

Of special relevance in such a context are all biomedical applications of advanced imaging: multidimensional (at any scale, including new imaging equipment and paradigms based on various physical principles) and multimodality/multisensor approaches (e.g., registration, fusion and visualization); disease and treatment characterization (e.g., through various related metrics); image-guidance and navigation (incl., robotics); planning, monitoring and follow-up of treatment; modeling and simulation (e.g., for improved planning and delivery); visualization of complex data sets and analyses (e.g., for improved diagnosis or therapy management); etc.

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. Informatics 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 1800 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.
