Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Imaging methodologies play pivotal roles in clinical diagnosis and biomedical research.
The use of individual modalities (magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computerized tomography (CT), positron emission tomography (PET), single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), etc.) provides selective information on anatomical structure, pathophysiology, metabolism, structural connectivity, functional connectivity, etc.
Most recently, due to rapid advances in high-speed communication and computation, augmented reality/virtual reality (AR/VR) approaches are being used in conjunction with medical imaging with the potential to revolutionize how imaging information is applied in clinical practice.
This Special Issue focuses on the integration of different imaging modalities and the application of this multimodal imaging approach in the fields of biomedicine and healthcare.
Considering the huge application of this technology and its impact on clinical practice and public health, Bioengineering is launching this Special Issue to highlight the potential of multimodal imaging methods in detecting additional information that could be missed by considering each modality individually, enhancing the accuracy of diagnosis and therapeutical treatment of several pathologies.
Papers which focus on innovative approaches in biomedical applications using multimodal imaging methodologies are welcome to contribute to this Special Issue.

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. Bioengineering 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 2700 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.
