Advancements in Computational Imaging Techniques for Quantitative Phase Imaging

Dear Colleagues,

Quantitative phase imaging (QPI) has emerged as a powerful label-free imaging modality with widespread applications in diverse scientific and medical domains. This Special Issue explores the synergy between computational imaging techniques and QPI, showcasing the latest advancements, challenges, and opportunities in this rapidly evolving field. In this Special Issue, we will highlight how computational methods can amplify the capabilities of QPI, offering improved data quality, faster imaging speeds, and enhanced interpretability.

The articles in this collection delve into a spectrum of computational strategies that complement QPI. From sophisticated algorithms for phase retrieval and unwrapping to innovative machine learning approaches for artifact correction and image reconstruction, these contributions push the boundaries of computational imaging. The integration of computational techniques with QPI has enabled real-time imaging, three-dimensional tomographic reconstructions, and the fusion of multimodal data, enabling comprehensive analyses in fields such as cell biology, neuroscience, and materials science.

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. Journal of Imaging 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 1800 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.
