Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue will explore the innovative applications of thermal imaging in the field of biomedicine. As a non-invasive diagnostic tool, thermal imaging offers insights into various physiological and pathological conditions by detecting subtle temperature variations in tissues. We aim to cover advancements in thermal imaging technologies, data interpretation algorithms, and their applications in disease diagnostics, treatment monitoring, and rehabilitation.
Key topics include the following:
- Thermal imaging in cardiovascular diagnostics;
- Applications in oncology for tumor detection and monitoring;
- Thermal assessment of skin conditions, burns, and wound healing;
- Advances in AI-driven thermal image processing;
- Integration of thermal imaging with other diagnostic modalities such as ultrasound or MRI;
- Novel methodologies and devices for thermal data acquisition;
- Thermal imaging in personalized medicine and telemedicine applications.
This Special Issue aims to attract high-quality submissions from experts in biomedical engineering, computer vision, machine learning, and clinical research. We encourage contributions that present original research, comprehensive reviews, and case studies demonstrating the impact of thermal imaging technologies on patient outcomes.

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. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.
