Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recently, we have seen a growing interest in biomedical imaging, which enables the visualization of the structure and functions of biological objects. Biomedical imaging integrates physics, engineering, fundamental biology, and clinical medicine. Recent advances in modern sensors for the analysis of biomedical signals and images have enhanced healthcare efficacy, including in the screening and diagnosis of many diseases, novel treatment methods, self-monitoring, and disease detection. With the development and progress of biomedical imaging technology, biomedical imaging has become an essential tool in daily medical diagnostics. Therefore, biomedical image processing has become increasingly important in biomedical research and clinical medicine.
This Special Issue aims to put together original research and review articles on recent advances, technologies, solutions, applications, and new challenges in the field of (bio)medical imaging. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Biomedical image analysis and other analyses (including, but not limited to, image quality improvement, image restoration, image segmentation, image registration, and radiomics analysis);
- Biomedical sensing;
- Biomedical imaging and diagnosis;
- Image-guided therapy;
- Computer-aided diagnosis and surgery;
- Digital radiography;
- X-ray-computed tomography (CT);
- Positron emission tomography (PET);
- Ultrasound imaging;
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI);
- Microscopies;
- Photoacoustic imaging;
- Deep learning;
- Federated learning.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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. Sensors is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2600 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.
