Radiation Oncology: Theory, Methods and Applications

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue of Applied Science, “Radiation Oncology: Theory, Methods and Applications”, encourages submissions describing original research as well as review articles in the field of radiation oncology. Topics to be explored include clinical radiotherapy, experimental work in radiobiology and computational and experimental physics and engineering developments relevant to radiation oncology. Submissions focused on clinical radiotherapy should investigate clinic trials and outcomes, combined modality radiation treatment and large database analysis and interrogation. Topics of interest in radiobiology include laboratory biology experiments and outcomes related to radiotherapy, biological modeling for tumor and normal tissue responses to radiation, tumor radiation sensitization and normal tissue protection from radiation. Physics and engineering developments, including biomedical imaging, nanoparticles in imaging and radiotherapy, artificial intelligence and machine learning in biomedical physics, data science in radiation oncology, radiation dosimetry, radiation therapy planning, radiation protection and patient dose monitoring and image-guided intervention radiotherapy, are also of interest.

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.
