Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special issue of Symmetry, entitled "Symmetry/Asymmetry in Artificial Intelligence for Healthcare Applications", seeks to explore the dualistic roles of AI in enhancing healthcare diagnostics and treatments. This Special Issue will particularly focus on the development and application of AI in diagnosing brain tumours, detecting and treating autism, and leveraging large multimodal models for comprehensive disease diagnosis. Contributions are invited for cutting-edge research that harnesses symmetric algorithms, which learn from balanced data sets and uniform patterns, as well as asymmetric approaches that tackle irregular, uneven data typical of real-world clinical scenarios. The objective is to elucidate how AI can maintain robustness in both symmetrical and asymmetrical data environments, ultimately improving accuracy and efficacy in healthcare outcomes. This Special Issue aims to bridge the gap between theoretical AI models and practical medical applications, highlighting the potential for AI to revolutionize personalized medicine, enhance early detection, and tailor treatment strategies.

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. Symmetry is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
