Reviewer acknowledgment

Photonics & Lasers in Medicine is a peer-reviewed journal which publishes interdisciplinary original contributions, reviews, and case as well as preliminary research reports from all fields of technical and scientific research concerned with the clinical application of lasers and biophotonics in medicine for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes.

Our external expert reviewers contribute significantly to the high standards of the journal and we would like to take this opportunity to express our sincere thanks to all of the listed participants and anyone we may have accidently overlooked, not only for their time and care but also for their dedication.
