Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an imaging technique that utilizes low-coherence light to capture structural images of biological tissue at a high resolution at the micrometer scale. OCT has had a significant impact on the diagnosis and management of diseases in many fields of medicine. Since the first demonstration of Doppler optical coherence tomography (OCT) in 1997, several functional extensions of OCT have been developed, including velocimetry, angiogram, and optical coherence elastography (OCE). These functional techniques have been widely used in research and clinical applications, such as ophthalmology and dermatology.
This Special Issue focuses on the challenges of and recent advances in functional OCT in disease diagnosis and clinical translation. Contributions may address, but are not limited to, the following topics: artificial intelligence in functional OCT, advancements in endoscopic functional OCT, functional OCT-guided therapy, and OCT-based multimodal 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.
