Recent Advances in X-ray Imaging

Dear Colleagues,

X-ray imaging is one of the most commonly used tools for non-destructive inspections from industrial to healthcare applications, performed at synchrotron facilities and small laboratories.

Most synchrotron facilities around the world have been, or are in the process of being, upgraded to diffraction limited rings, with a dramatic increase in coherent flux. Meanwhile, new types of X-ray sources are populating the landscape between large synchrotron facilities and standard x-ray laboratory sources,  from high-brilliance sources based on inverse Compton scattering to ultrafast sources driven by high-power lasers.

The upgrade and development of new sources offer new opportunities and pose new challenges. This stimulates developments in imaging techniques, detectors, and applications. As a result, X-ray imaging is quickly changing to try and satisfy, via hardware, software, or AI-empowered solutions, the quest for increasingly higher resolution and faster acquisition.

We are seeking contributions that catch the essence of this transformation by presenting the latest advances in terms of the techniques, data processing, and applications of X-ray imaging.

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.
