Machine Learning in Medical Imaging

Dear Colleagues,

Medical imaging is a cornerstone of modern medicine, allowing physicians to peer inside the human body with unprecedented clarity. However, the sheer volume and complexity of medical image data have posed challenges that have often necessitated time-consuming and subjective human interpretation. Machine learning, which provides the ability to sift through vast datasets, identify patterns, and make predictions with remarkable accuracy, represents a paradigm shift with the potential to revolutionize medical practice, enabling earlier and more precise diagnoses, personalized treatment plans, and enhanced patient care.

This Special Issue addresses all aspects relevant to the application of machine learning in medical imaging. From the development of novel machine learning algorithms for medical image acquisition, processing, and analysis (e.g., image segmentation, registration, disease classification, and predictive modeling) to the ethical and regulatory considerations that accompany the adoption of these algorithms, this Special Issue aims to discuss the current state-of-the-art technologies that pertain to this dynamic field, as well as the field’s emerging trends and potential future research directions. We invite researchers to contribute to this Special Issue with original research articles and review articles that focus on machine learning in medical imaging.

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. Diagnostics 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.
