Scope

In 1974, a Japanese bioengineer named Takuo Aoyagi, working for the Nihon Kohden Corp, developed a working prototype of an optical measurement system that sensed blood pulsation by detection of the temporal variation of light transmission through tissue. These changes showed that macroscopic measurements of diffuse light could directly sample variation in light absorption caused by dilation and constriction of arterial vessels at the heart rate frequency. Arguably, this electrical engineering advance would become perhaps the most impactful development in deep tissue biomedical optics. The discovery found wider recognition through the work of John Severinghaus, in the late-1980s, when functional pulse oximeters became commercially realized. All of this progress can be traced to a core discovery that diffuse light transmission through tissue carried temporal signatures with useful information from the microscopic blood vessel network.

The idea that spectroscopic measurement of these temporal signatures could be translated to quantitatively measure arterial blood oxygen saturation was revolutionary. Today pulse oximeters are ubiquitous in medicine, and the principles discovered in early pulse oximetry have ballooned to inspire many subsequent discoveries. The applications of imaging and sensing with diffuse light are extensive, as are the applications of related temporal and spectroscopic instrumentation and algorithms. In 2024, we celebrate the 50th anniversary of this discovery by a dedicated electrical engineer. The discovery eventually changed mainstream medical care, saving countless lives and transforming our ideas about what is possible with optical measurement through tissue.

For this special section of JBO, we are broadly seeking manuscripts on topics related to pulse oximetry, including Review papers, Perspective papers and original scientific manuscripts. Topics include:

  • Pulse oximetry
  • Pulse dye densitometry
  • Blood oxygen saturation measurement
  • Diffuse optical imaging and monitoring of tissue
  • Tissue spectroscopy
  • Blood flow sensing and imaging

All submissions will be peer reviewed. Peer review will commence immediately upon manuscript submission, with a goal of making a first decision within six weeks of manuscript submission. Special sections are opened online once a minimum of four papers have been accepted. Each paper is published as soon as the copyedited and typeset proofs are approved by the author. Submissions should follow the JBO author guidelines. Manuscripts should be submitted online at https://jbo.msubmit.net. A cover letter indicating that the submission is intended for this special section should be included.

Scope

Molecular Guided Surgery is an emerging field that brings together technological advances in instrumentation, computational methods and novel contrast agents. In the last decade or more, there have been dramatic advances across the field including regulatory clearances in specific devices and novel probes, as well as new indications for use in select surgeries. The Molecular Guided Surgery conference at SPIE BiOS is reaching its 10th anniversary in 2024, and interest has been strong throughout both academic and industry advances. This special issue of JBO is in honor of reaching this milestone of the conference, and to highlight novel imaging systems, agents, and methods that have advanced in this timeframe.

This special issue welcomes research and review papers on new aspects of Molecular Guided Surgery, including imaging systems, contrast agents, and fundamentally new tests of these. Topics for this special issue include endogenous signals and reporters, unique system designs, unique signal processing of these, correlations with histopathological imaging, intraoperative imaging, optical biopsy, functional image guided surgery, molecular and cellular imaging in vivo or in situ. The issue can also cover the associated topics of regulatory challenges and successes, tools for quantitative analyses, tissue phantoms for validation, tools and methods for standardization, modeling studies, model systems for testing in non-animal tissues. Original research papers, letters, perspective papers, or review papers are welcome.

All submissions will be peer reviewed. Peer review will commence immediately upon manuscript submission, with a goal of making a first decision within six weeks of manuscript submission. Each paper is published online as soon as the copyedited and typeset proofs are approved by the author.

Submissions should follow the JBO author guidelines. Manuscripts should be submitted online at https://jbo.msubmit.net. A cover letter indicating that the submission is intended for this special issue should be included.

Scope

Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) technologies, which initially were developed in the field of remote sensing, have been introduced to medical applications to augment conventional spectroscopic imaging technologies at the early stage. More recently, the technologies have increasingly been applied for a broad range of biomedical applications, including histologic evaluation of tumors in biopsy or post-lumpectomy tissues, enabling intraoperative evaluation of tissues, tumor margin assessment for image-guided surgery, etc. The key analysis goal of the hyperspectral data cubes and data sets is to determine whether a targeted spectral signature involving disease or anomaly is present or not in the data and spatially and spectrally resolve the target features. To this end, a variety of analysis algorithms have been demonstrated. With the advancement of AI technologies, especially deep-learning methods, the spectral-spatial analysis of the rich HSI data provides promising results that are not possible with conventional machine-learning methods.

This special issue will feature research and review papers on new hyperspectral imaging and detection devices and associated technologies, for application in the areas of translational research and clinical studies. Topics for this issue include hyperspectral technologies involving digital histopathological imaging, intraoperative imaging, optical biopsy, image-guide surgery, cellular imaging, etc. The issue also will cover the following relevant topics (but not limited to): quantitative analyses and modeling involving biological cells, tissues, and bio-mimicking phantoms towards measurement standards; data-supported perspectives and potential challenges in translating the hyperspectral techniques into the clinic; and discussions on the future research directions of biomedical applications of hyperspectral imaging, detection, and data-processing technologies.

All submissions will be peer reviewed. Peer review will commence immediately upon manuscript submission, with a goal of making a first decision within six weeks of manuscript submission. Each paper is published online as soon as the copyedited and typeset proofs are approved by the author.

Submissions should follow the JBO author guidelines. Manuscripts should be submitted online at https://jbo.msubmit.net. A cover letter indicating that the submission is intended for this special section should be included.

JBO Britton Chance Call For Papers

July 2024 marks the Third Britton Chance International Symposium on Metabolic Imaging and Spectroscopy at University of Pennsylvania honoring the memory of Professor Britton Chance. Prof. Chance was a prolific and legendary scientist who made pioneering contributions in the fields of radar, biochemistry, and biophysics, and who was a founding father of in vivo NMR and biomedical photonics. His research activities spanned physics, chemistry, engineering, biology, and medicine with aims to generate new understanding about tissue function and disease, and dreams to impact health science and clinical translation.

This JBO special issue welcomes submissions on topics in this spirit, e.g., focused on biomedical photonics and optical imaging/spectroscopy of tissue metabolism and related concepts. A range of topics can be explored, spanning from technical development, translation and clinical application of metabolic/functional imaging, and spectroscopy methods for disease detection, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention.

All submissions will be peer reviewed. Peer review will commence immediately upon manuscript submission, with a goal of making a first decision within six weeks of manuscript submission. Each paper is published online as soon as the copyedited and typeset proofs are approved by the author.

Submissions should follow the JBO author guidelines. Manuscripts should be submitted online at https://jbo.msubmit.net. A cover letter indicating that the submission is intended for this special issue should be included.
