Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) continues to evolve as one of the most powerful and versatile diagnostic tools in modern medicine. This Special Issue will focus on recent advances in MRI hardware and acquisition techniques that are transforming disease diagnosis and monitoring. Topics of interest include novel RF coil designs, advanced gradient systems, ultra-high-field and ultra-low-field MRI technologies, and material-based innovations that enhance imaging performance. We also welcome contributions on new pulse sequences, reconstruction algorithms, and multi-parametric imaging methods that improve sensitivity, specificity, and quantification across a range of clinical applications. By bringing together innovations in engineering, physics, and computational imaging, this issue aims to highlight interdisciplinary efforts that push the boundaries of MRI and open new pathways for early detection, longitudinal monitoring, and precision diagnosis of disease.
Submissions are encouraged from both academic and industry researchers working at the intersection of sensor development, imaging hardware, sequence design, and clinical translation.

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.
