BMC Medical Imaging is calling for submissions to our Collection on Dosimetry and dose reconstruction. The integration of advanced imaging modalities has enabled researchers to gain unprecedented insights into patient-specific anatomy and functional data. Simulations have become essential for precise dose calculations, while biological dosimetry research has deepened our understanding of the molecular and cellular responses to radiation exposure. In addition, the integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms has vast potential for the optimization and automation in treatment planning, quality assurance, and workflow efficiency. Nowadays, dosimetry and dose reconstruction foster a patient-centric approach, with treatments tailored to individual patients and conceived to minimize damage to healthy tissues. With the development of wearable dosimeters and real-time monitoring devices this will ensure radiation protection in even broader settings.
BMC Medical Imaging is pleased to welcome studies reporting and describing the latest developments and innovations in the field of dosimetry, including dosimetry simulations with a special focus on computational or physical phantoms, automated dosimetry optimization, real-time in vivo dosimetry, patient-specific techniques, or protocols. This collection aims to showcase cutting-edge research and contribute to the ongoing evolution of dosimetry and dose reconstruction in medical imaging.
This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 3: Good Health and Well-Being.
