Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) as a non-contact, high-resolution imaging modality has revolutionized ophthalmic imaging and diagnostics. Since its origins in structural visualizations based on reflectance and scattering properties of the tissue, various technological and methodological advancements have extended the possiblities of OCT to investigate dynamic processes and to reveal new morphological and functional biomarkers.
This Special Issue, entitled “Advanced Optical Coherence Tomography in Ophthalmology”, aims to highlight recent progress and developments in the field of ophthalmic imaging using OCT. It covers all aspects, including instrumentation, methodologies, image processing approaches that provide insight into the morphology, physiological processes and pathophysiological changes of the anterior and posterior eye, and has the potential to enhance both ophthalmic research and clinical applicability for the diagnosis and monitoring of various ophthalmic conditions.
Potential topics may include but are not limited to:
- OCT and high-resolution OCT;
- Polarization-sensitive OCT;
- Doppler OCT;
- OCT angiography;
- Optical coherence elastography;
- Optophysiology;
- OCT spectroscopy;
- Adaptive optics OCT;
- OCT and machine learning.
You are cordially invited to submit your original research or review papers for this Special Issue.
Dr. René Werkmeister
Guest Editor
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.
