Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue explores structural and statistical patterns in large-scale datasets, with emphasis on medical imaging, artificial intelligence, and healthcare analytics. Symmetry and asymmetry play vital roles in deep learning models by influencing feature extraction, model interpretability, and data imbalance—factors critical for disease classification and clinical decision making, including cancer detection. We welcome theoretical, computational, and application-focused contributions that investigate how recognizing and leveraging symmetry or asymmetry can improve diagnostic accuracy, robustness, and generalizability in AI systems applied to real-world biomedical and healthcare challenges.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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.
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.
