Journal of Biomedical Optics

Editor-in-Chief: Brian W. Pogue, University of Wisconsin–Madison, USA

The Journal of Biomedical Optics (JBO) is a Gold Open Access journal that publishes peer-reviewed papers on the use of novel optical systems and techniques for improved health care and biomedical research.

On the cover: The figure is based on research reported in "Experimental imaging and Monte Carlo modeling of ultrafast pulse propagation in thin scattering slabs" by L. Pattelli and G. Mazzamuto, from the Special Section Celebrating 30 years of Open Source Monte Carlo Codes in Biomedical Optics guest edited by Qianqian Fang, Fabrizio Martelli, and Lothar Lilge, in JBO Volume 27 Issue 8.
