Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Photoacoustic imaging is a multi-modal biomedical imaging method that has recently flourished. It can present spatial resolution capabilities in millimeters and even nanometers; provide the multi-scale light absorption contrast information of biological tissues such as anatomy, function, metabolism, molecules, genes, etc.; and realize the imaging needs of organelles, cells, tissues, and even organs. With the development of photoacoustic imaging technology, photoacoustic molecular imaging, ultrasound/photoacoustic multi-modal imaging, photoacoustic nanoprobe, photothermal therapy, and other technologies have also been significantly improved.
This Special Issue will provide a vehicle for exchanging important advances in multi-parameter observation, photoacoustic temperature measurement, and photothermal therapy using photoacoustic imaging methods/techniques to study tumor structure and function from a microscopic, mesoscopic, or macroscopic perspective. Some representative but not exhaustive examples include the development and application of:
- Advanced photoacoustic imaging technology;
- Novel ultrasound/photoacoustic imaging systems;
- Photoacoustic molecular imaging;
- Multi-modal photoacoustic imaging;
- Photoacoustic tomography;
- Photoacoustic microscopy;
- Photoacoustic endoscopy;
- Photoacoustic temperature measurement and temperature control technology;
- Photothermal therapy techniques;
- Photoacoustic technology theory and reconstruction methods;
- Photoacoustic clinical applications.

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. 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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
