Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Terahertz instrumentation has improved significantly in recent years such that THz spectrometers, components and imaging systems have become more efficient and simpler to use for non-experts. Due to the non-ionizing nature of THz light and its high sensitivity to soft tissues, there is a growing interest in biomedical applications including both in vivo and ex vivo studies. Furthermore, research continues into understanding the origin of contrast and how to interpret terahertz biomedical images. For this Special Issue, we aim to present a series of research studies related to THz spectroscopy, terahertz imaging, and new data processing for biomedical applications. They may include experimental investigations, theoretical models and methods of data analysis for signal extraction as well as new sources of THz radiation and detection apparatus including methods of imaging and new sensors.

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.
