Advances in Imaging-Based NDT Methods

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue's focus is on the advancements of imaging based non-destructive testing and evaluation (NDT&E) methods for inspection of various metals, semiconductors, composites and biomaterials. The main focus is given to widely used non-destructive testing and evaluation methodologies and associated data processing schemes for inspection of various industrial and biomaterials.

Topics of interest

This Special Issue on NDT&E focuses on both laboratory and field applications, including but not limited to the following:

• ultrasonic testing
• radiographic testing
• thermographic testing
• optical testing
• eddy current testing
• magnetic particle inspection
• liquid penetrant examination
• signal/image/video processing techniques for improving the sensitivity and resolution for visualization of surface/subsurface/volumetric defects.
• non-destructive testing/non-invasive inspection of biomaterials
• data fusion for NDT&E

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. NDT is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1000 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
