Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Medical imaging has developed rapidly and is now a versatile tool with numerous possible applications. Imaging has experienced a quantum leap in technology and clinical applications over the last 30 years. This leap includes super-resolution ultrasound imaging, X-ray computed tomography (CT), emission computed tomography (SPECT and PET), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), including functional MRI (fMRI), as well as combined, hybrid, or dual-imaging techniques. The application of the principles and methods of physics in medical imaging has contributed to an improvement in this field. Physics-based techniques have been progressively developed and optimized to help physicians make rapid diagnoses and establish effective treatments for various diseases. The development of medical imaging is the result of physicists collaborating with engineers and physicians. As medical imaging continues to evolve, researchers are finding ways to improve diagnosis and treatment planning. One of the most exciting areas currently being researched is the application of artificial intelligence to medical imaging, which can set new frontiers in both diagnosing disease and planning as well as monitoring the effectiveness of treatments.
The scope of this Special Issue of Applied Sciences, entitled “Advances and Applications of Medical Imaging Physics”, is to collect original research manuscripts describing cutting-edge medical imaging physics developments in medicine, as well as reviews providing updates on the latest progresses in this field.

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.
