Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Modern numerical analyses are most commonly applied in medicine and related branches. In common practice we are used to applying Euclidian geometry, but this classical method shows its disadvantages in the case of complicated shapes/patterns analyses. Such patterns are observed in the case of the microstructure of biomaterials, bone, skin, lesions, etc. Euclidian geometry may fail in these cases. Advanced algorithms of image analysis, such as fractal dimension analysis or texture analysis, may be helpful, especially in regard to the correlation of their results with easier measurable mechanical parameters, such as roughness, hardness, and flexibility. Another way to use the aforementioned methods is to implement them in computer-aided diagnosis systems.
The aim of this Special Issue is to focus on the application of modern mathematical methods, such as fractal dimension analysis, texture analysis, finite element analysis, radiomics, diagnostic data mining, etc., in medicine, primarily in regard to biomaterials and computer-aided diagnosis.
It is a pleasure to invite you to submit manuscripts to this Special Issue.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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. Materials 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.
