Novel Biomedical Imaging Modalities and Agents

Dear Colleagues,

Various biomedical imaging technologies have been developed over recent decades, contributing significantly to the early diagnosis of diseases and monitoring treatment. Specifically, biomedical imaging techniques enable the provision of structure and functional information such as blood flow, oxygen saturation, and metabolism based on the physical interaction between the energy and biological properties of tissues in the body. Furthermore, the collaboration of specific biomaterials as agents provides an opportunity to achieve advanced molecular imaging.  

This Special Issue will cover a wide range of topics on biomedical imaging modalities and their agents, including conventional and advanced biomedical imaging modalities and their applications. In addition, biomaterials for contrast, therapeutics, and multifunction agents and applications are also welcome. The Special Issue will publish full research papers, communications, and reviews.

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. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2600 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.
