BMC Medical Imaging called for submissions to our Collection on Advances in fluorescence-based medical imaging. This collection sought to showcase research studies that focus on the advancement and validation of fluorescence-based imaging techniques in both in vitro and in vivo settings, with a specific emphasis on their applications for diagnosing and managing human diseases. We were particularly interested in studies that enhances and optimizes fluorescent probes capable of selectively targeting tumor or disease-specific biomarkers or cellular processes for detection and characterization of cancer or other diseases. Additionally, we encouraged research on how fluorescence-based imaging can aid in monitoring therapeutic response and facilitating fluorescence-guided surgeries. Furthermore, we also encouraged submissions of data analysis and computational modeling studies that provide evidence for effectiveness of imaging-based methods in the study and diagnosis of human diseases.
