Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The past decade has witnessed the emergence of new X-ray molecular imaging modalities that uniquely combine the fine spatial resolution of X-ray imaging and tomography with the molecular sensitivity and specificity provided by X-ray excited optical luminescence and X-ray fluorescence. Among these techniques, X-ray luminescence imaging (XLI), X-ray luminescence computed tomography (XLCT), X-ray fluorescence computed tomography (XFCT), and radioluminescence imaging (RLI) have attracted great attention for their wide-ranging applications in imaging cancer, detecting infection, studying cellular microenvironments, monitoring response to therapy, etc.
This Special Issue will focus on state-of-the-art research in X-ray molecular imaging including XLI, XLCT, XFCT, or RLI, covering system improvements, imaging probes, reconstruction algorithms, and applications. Both original research papers and reviews are welcome.
The manuscripts should focus on, but are not limited to, the following topics:
- XLI/XLCT instrumentation;
- XFCT instrumentation;
- Radioluminescence imaging (RLI);
- Any approach to improving the performance of XLI/XLCT or XFCT or RLI;
- Algorithms for XLI/XFCT or XFCT or RLI image reconstruction;
- Probes for XLI/XLCT or XFCT or RLI imaging;
- Applications of XLI/XLCT, XFCT, or RLI.

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.
