Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Photoacoustic imaging is a hybrid imaging modality combining rich optical contrast with high spatial resolution and deep tissue penetration of ultrasound imaging. With various technical developments over the past decade, this new imaging modality has emerged as a powerful tool in life science and clinical studies, and can provide multiscale highly resolved structural, functional, metabolic, and molecular information relating to organelles, cells, tissues, and organs in vivo. The three major embodiments of photoacoustic imaging are microscopy, endoscopy, and computed tomography. Currently, many commercial and home-made photoacoustic imaging systems or ultrasound–photoacoustic imaging systems are available. Many attempts have been made to use these systems to detect degenerative diseases and malignancies, as well as to guide cancer treatments. This Special Issue aims to highlight new trends in photoacoustic imaging, including technical advancements and potential applications in life science/clinics.
For this Special Issue, the topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Quantitative photoacoustic imaging;
- Deep learning algorithms in photoacoustic imaging;
- Real-time photoacoustic imaging;
- The enhancement of spatial resolution and/or depth penetration in photoacoustic imaging;
- Imaging contrast for photoacoustic imaging;
- Photoacoustic imaging in arthritis detection;
- Photoacoustic imaging in cancer detection;
- Photoacoustic imaging in nanomedicine;
- Photoacoustic imaging in image-guided therapy.

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. Photonics 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.
