Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Biomedical imaging technology has developed rapidly in recent years and now plays an important role in the early diagnosis and treatment of diseases. This Special Issue focuses on cutting-edge developments in various biomedical imaging technologies. We invite submissions of original papers and reviews that investigate advanced biomedical imaging technology. The issue covers original articles that include (but are not limited to) the following topics:

  • Molecular imaging;
  • Medical imaging;
  • Optical and photoacoustic molecular imaging;
  • Ultrasound imaging;
  • Nanomedical imaging probes;
  • Porphyrin-based probes;
  • Molecular probes;
  • In vitro and in vivo imaging applications;
  • Optical coherence tomography;
  • Spectroscopy-based imaging;
  • Emerging biomedical imaging technologies.

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.

Foreign bodies are found in as many as 15% of traumatic wounds. Point of Care ultrasound (POCUS) is now considered reliable for detecting FBs in wounds. Unfortunately, up to 38% of these FBs are initially missed, resulting in infections, delayed wound healing, and loss of function. Microfocus X-ray imaging (MFXI) has a significantly higher resolution (up to 100×) than conventional X-ray imaging. Therefore, it can potentially be used for Point of Care diagnostics. Up to seven glass fragments smaller than 2.5 mm were embedded in each of the 58 chicken wings and thighs. Two control samples were prepared with no glass fragments. Five emergency medicine physicians with ultrasound training imaged the samples with a Butterfly iQ+ at 1 to 10 MHz center frequencies and counted the glass pieces. This device is an example of handheld PCUS equipment that is particularly valuable in resource-limited areas and austere settings where portability is a significant factor. The same five physicians counted the number of foreign bodies in each X-ray image. The physicians were not trained to read micro-focus X-ray images but had read standard X-rays regularly as part of their medical practice and had at least 3 years of hands-on clinical practice using POCUS. Across physicians and samples, raters correctly identified an average of 97.6% of FBs using MFXI (96.5% interrater reliability) and 62.3% of FBs using POCUS (70.8% interrater reliability).
