Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue "Intelligent Medical Optical Imaging: From Multimodal Sensing to Precision Reconstruction" explores cutting-edge advancements in optical imaging technologies for medical diagnostics and therapy. It emphasizes the integration of multimodal sensing (e.g., photoacoustic, fluorescence, and optical coherence tomography) with intelligent algorithms (deep learning, GANs, transformers) to achieve high-resolution, real-time, and accurate imaging. Key challenges addressed include enhancing signal quality in noisy environments, improving reconstruction speed, and fusing complementary data from different modalities (e.g., optical-MRI hybrid systems). Innovations such as AI-driven image reconstruction and dynamic feature fusion modules enable precise visualization of anatomical structures and functional biomarkers. Applications span early cancer detection, surgical navigation, and neurological disease monitoring. The issue highlights how these technologies bridge the gap between laboratory research and clinical translation, offering transformative tools for personalized medicine and minimally invasive interventions.

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.
