Biomedical imaging has advanced from basic techniques like X-ray and ultrasound to sophisticated methods such as MRI, CT and optical imaging. These developments allow high-resolution, three-dimensional visualization of tissues and real-time monitoring of molecular and cellular functions, improving diagnosing and managing diseases like cancer and neurological conditions. Innovations in optical imaging, including fluorescence and super-resolution microscopy, along with PET and SPECT, have enabled detailed studies of biological processes at the molecular level. These technologies now allow real-time observation of neuronal signaling and brain activity, enhancing our understanding of cognitive and motor functions.

Applications of these advanced imaging techniques extend across various fields, ranging from early disease diagnosis and precision surgery to drug development and personalized medicine. However, challenges remain, including the need for higher resolution and sensitivity to detect small or low-abundance molecules, the high cost of advanced equipment and the complexity of managing and analyzing large datasets.

To overcome these limitations, this special issue highlights emerging solutions, such as integrating artificial intelligence (AI) and quantum imaging, which promise to enhance resolution, sensitivity and data processing capabilities significantly. Bringing together contributions from leading researchers across disciplines provides a comprehensive overview of how these technological innovations are revolutionizing biomedical imaging. It underscores their potential to redefine our understanding of biology, improve clinical outcomes and accelerate therapeutic development.
