Description
Summary:The past two decades have witnessed revolutionary advances in biomedical imaging modalities capable of providing biological and physiological information from the cellular scale to the organ level. Recent advances have also been focused on cost-effective, noninvasive, portable, and molecularimaging technologies for imaging at microscopic, mesoscopic, and macroscopic levels. These technologies have significant potential to advance biomedical research and clinical practice. They can also provide a better understanding and monitoring of physiological and functional disorders, which could lead to mainstream diagnostic technologies of the future. © 2010 IEEE. The guest editors would like to thank Prof. B. Wheeler, Editor-in-Chief of TBME for his encouragement, advice, and continuous support from the conceptualization of the special issue idea and throughout the review process. They are also extremely grateful to the reviewers who carefully reviewed the submissions and provided extremely valuable and constructive critiques while providing all the feedback in a timely manner even after unexpected delays in travel due to the volcanic eruption in Iceland and during several proposal submission deadlines.
