Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are aiming at cutting-edge optical and optical-based hybrid imaging systems and image reconstruction algorithms to exploit the interactions of light with biological tissues in vivo and in vitro. This is a multidisciplinary field combining physics, biology, medicine, and computer science to characterize and analyze the optical properties of biological tissues on subcellular, cellular, and tissue scales and their changes related to metabolism and functional information. The ultimate goal is to advance related disease diagnosis and therapy patterns, benefit potential treatment outcomes, and/or develop an in-depth understanding of the biological processes.
This Special Issue on “Biomedical Optics：Imaging, Sensing and Therapy” will welcome comprehensive research directions, including the following:
- The development and validation of spectroscopic and/or imaging instrumentation on phantoms and on ex vivo and in vivo tissues;
- The forward modeling of photon migration in tissues and inverse problem solving;
- Image reconstruction by using advanced traditional methods or machine learning-based algorithm;
- The processing of multidimensional data using classification and machine learning methods;
- The development of multimodal, multispectral, and/or multiscale approaches;
- The applications of imaging and laser technologies in preclinical and clinical diagnosis and therapy.

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. Photonics 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 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.
