Advanced Technologies in Biophotonics and Medical Physics

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, an increasing number of optical techniques have been applied in the field of biophotonics and medical physics, playing a significant role in both biomedical research and clinical diagnosis. Traditional medical imaging methods present many disadvantages such as damage, low sensitivity and low resolution.

Optical technology such as photoacoustic imaging and optical coherent tomography provide high-contrast and high-resolution images directly linked to the diagnosis. Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy and photoacoustic spectroscopy can provide chemical composition and spectral information. Radiation-induced ultrasound imaging such as X-ray-induced acoustic computed tomography has important application prospects for low-dose clinical detection.

Therefore, non-destructive optical technologies and low-dose imaging techniques will be one of the main trends in the future. We would like to receive manuscripts or review articles on the latest research progress in this field, highlighting the recent advances in biophotonics and medical physics. We believe your work will greatly benefit our readers and make a great contribution to the development in this field.

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. Photonics 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 2400 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.
