Diffuse Optical Imaging

Call for Papers

The field of biomedical optics has expanded dramatically in the past two decades. Among the wide range of optical imaging approaches, diffuse optical imaging, which images at depths greater than a few millimeters, is emerging as a powerful noninvasive modality for functional and molecular imaging of intact specimens. The success of diffuse optical imaging relies on the integration of complex instrumentation with refined data processing techniques to fulfill unmet clinical and preclinical needs.

We invite investigators to contribute original research articles as well as review articles that will stimulate the continuing translational efforts to bring diffuse optical imaging from the bench to the bedside. We are particularly interested in articles describing new instrumental or computational/software approaches for subsurface sensing and/or applications in clinical and preclinical settings. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Development and validation of new imaging instrumentation/approaches
• Development of new reconstruction algorithms and data processing techniques for diffuse optical tomography
• Functional, Molecular, and structural diffuse optical imaging
• Multimodal imaging integrating structural, molecular, and functional information
• 2D, 3D, 4D, tomographic, and/or multispectral imaging
