Imaging techniques have long played a role in biology and medicine. Recent technological advances now allow us to visualise cellular and developmental processes in real time and with exceptional spatial and temporal resolution. They are being extended to the entire field of biology and medicine - from single molecules and cells to complete tissues and embryos.
We invite contributions on methods and applications in the broad field of advanced imaging. Innovative imaging approaches driven by technological advances to answer specific biological questions from the subcellular to the organ level are expected. Applications come from a variety of disciplines in biology and medicine, including cell and developmental biology, infectious diseases, cancer biology, neuroscience, microbiology, pharmacology, and pathology.
Specific topics include, but are not limited to, biomedical applications in the following areas:
• Spectroscopy-based imaging including: fluorescence, Raman, elastic scattering, evanescence wave, diffuse optical spectroscopy, Terahertz spectroscopy, near and mid infrared spectroscopy, diffuse correlation spectroscopy and mass spectroscopy.
• Advanced imaging technologies including: diffuse optical imaging, optical coherence tomography, photoacoustic imaging, microscopy, coherent Raman scattering microspectroscopy, multiphoton microscopy
• Advanced imaging analysis for disease detection and monitoring, including: magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), positron emission tomography (PET) and ultrasound.
