Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
New tracers/contrast agents, innovative radiopharmaceuticals, preclinical (in vitro and in vivo) radiobiology studies, advanced and new technologies, biodiversity and biotechnology, and innovative scanners are now available in molecular and conventional imaging. All these advancements can be further magnified by artificial intelligence (AI) approaches. In the last several decades, AI approaches have been used to support the segmentation and detection of lesions, the evaluation of radiopharmaceutical body biodistribution, the implementation of innovative radiomics prediction models, and the reduction of radiotracer/contrast agent dose and scanning time. Despite huge efforts worldwide, only a few such tools have been translated into clinical practice. In this Special Issue, we want to encourage colleagues involved in conventional and molecular imaging to deliver robust and reproducible AI preclinical and clinical applications, aiding in their adoption in the real world.
This Special Issue deals with, but is not limited to, the following topics:
- Machine- and deep-learning techniques for biomedical image analysis (i.e., segmentation of cells, tissues, organs, lesions; classification of cells, diseases, tumors, etc.);
- Image registration techniques;
- Image pre-processing techniques;
- Image-based 3D reconstruction;
- Radiomics and artificial intelligence for personalized medicine;
- Multimodality fusion (e.g., MRI, PET, CT, ultrasound) for diagnosis, image analysis and image-guided intervention;
- Machine and deep learning as tools to support medical diagnoses and decisions;
- Artificial intelligence in predicting treatment response and assessing disease prognosis;
- In vitro and in vivo preclinical assays and analysis tools for radiopharmaceutical validation;
- Radiopharmaceuticals biodistribution analysis of microPET/CT imaging on murine models;
- Theranostics;
- Biotechnology applied to biodiversity;
- Radiobiology analysis in vitro assays with tumor cell lines and in animal models of cancer.

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. Life 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 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.
