AI-Driven Medical Image Processing and Analysis

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue centers on AI-driven medical imaging and medical image analysis, focusing on integrating prior knowledge (e.g., anatomical insights, clinical expertise) with model-driven deep learning to advance technical innovation and clinical applicability. It highlights interdisciplinary research that merges data-driven approaches with domain-specific prior knowledge, addressing key challenges in medical image processing and developing interpretable algorithms to enhance transparency and clinical trust. Contributions will cover critical topics including automated lesion detection, disease classification, precise image segmentation, and radiomic analysis—all anchored in model-driven frameworks that leverage prior knowledge to improve generalization, reduce data dependency, and enable clinical interpretability. By bridging applied mathematics, computer science, biomedical engineering, and clinical practice, this Special Issue aims to showcase cutting-edge solutions that harness AI’s potential while addressing real-world healthcare needs, ultimately advancing precision medicine and improving patient outcomes.

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. Journal of Imaging 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.
