BMC Medical Imaging is calling for submission to our Collection on Biomedical optics. Biomedical optics is an interdisciplinary field that involves the use of light-based technologies to study, diagnose, and treat biological tissues and systems. It encompasses a wide range of techniques, including optical imaging, spectroscopy, and laser-based therapies, which are used to enhance our understanding of biological processes and improve clinical outcomes. The applications of biomedical optics span across medical diagnostics, therapeutic interventions, and fundamental biological research, offering non-invasive or minimally invasive alternatives to traditional methods.
The relevance of biomedical optics has grown significantly in recent years due to advances in photonics, imaging technologies, and computational methods. These innovations have led to improved resolution, sensitivity, and specificity in detecting diseases, monitoring physiological changes, and guiding therapeutic procedures. Biomedical optics plays a critical role in addressing key healthcare challenges, such as early disease detection, personalized medicine, and real-time monitoring of treatment efficacy.
This Collection seeks to highlight novel optical techniques and technologies to enhance diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities including confocal microscopy, fluorescence imaging, bioluminescence imaging, photoacoustic imaging, Raman spectroscopy, multiphoton microscopy, diffuse optical imaging, and optical coherence tomography.
This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being.
