Diagnosis of Medical Imaging

Dear Colleagues,

Over the years, medical imaging techniques such X-rays, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound, and positron emission tomography (PET) have revolutionized the way we diagnose and treat various medical conditions. These imaging modalities provide detailed insights into the human body, allowing healthcare professionals to identify diseases, monitor treatment progress, and guide surgical interventions.The aim of this Special Issue is to present the recent advances in medical imaging for detection and diagnosis, including through the use of machine learning and deep learning algorithms.

We especially invite submissions that utilize various Medical Imaging modalities such as digital mammography (DM), tomosynthesis, ultrasound, or MRI, to develop systems that assist in the diagnosis (CADx) and/or detection (CADe) of regions of interest in diseases. Submissions may also include, but are not limited to, innovative feature extraction techniques for disease detection and diagnosis, transfer learning and deep learning architectures, open-access databases for breast cancer research, generative adversarial network (GAN) architectures designed to address the challenges of small datasets.

The goal of this Special Issue is to explore our current standing and future possibilities within this crucial area of health-related research. We welcome submissions detailing new techniques, methods, applications, and results, as well as review articles.

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. Applied Sciences 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 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.
