Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Medical ultrasound has become an indispensable tool in modern healthcare, offering safe, real-time, and cost-effective imaging and sensing capabilities. Recent advances in transducer technology, signal processing, and artificial intelligence have significantly expanded the potential of ultrasound. Emerging topics include three-dimensional imaging, dynamic functional and quantitative analysis, machine learning assisted ultrasound, and point-of-care and wearable ultrasound. This Special Issue aims to bring together original research and comprehensive reviews on the latest developments, innovative technologies, and future challenges in biomedical ultrasound imaging and sensing. We welcome contributions that explore novel hardware designs, advanced algorithms, and clinical applications that push the boundaries of ultrasound technology.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- High-contrast and high-framerate ultrasound imaging.
- Three-dimensional ultrasound imaging.
- Ultrasound elastography and tissue characterization.
- Contrast-enhanced ultrasound and molecular sensing.
- AI and machine learning for ultrasound image analysis.
- Portable and wearable ultrasound systems.
- Ultrasound-guided therapy and interventions.
- Novel transducer materials and array designs.
- Multimodal imaging combining ultrasound with other modalities.
- Signal and image processing techniques.
- Ultrasound tomography and inverse imaging problems.

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. 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.
