Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Optical imaging techniques have become indispensable in the biomedical field, offering a broad spectrum of applications across disciplines such as oncology, neuroscience, cardiology, physiology, and biomaterials. These techniques provide diverse optical contrasts, unveiling critical biological information ranging from anatomical structures to functional and molecular characteristics. As a result, they are vital tools for both preclinical research and clinical practice.
In light of the significant advancements in optical imaging technologies in recent years, we are excited to announce a Special Issue focused on pioneering developments in optical imaging for biomedicine. This issue will highlight recent innovations and emerging trends in optical imaging devices, their biomedical applications, methodological advancements, and interdisciplinary research that leverages these technologies. We invite research teams worldwide to submit original research articles, reviews, and short communications to contribute to this Special Issue of Sensors.
Dr. Li Lin
Guest Editor
