Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid advancement of sensor technologies has revolutionized medical imaging, enabling novel acquisition techniques and instrumentation for enhanced diagnostic precision. This Special Issue highlights cutting-edge research on sensor-enhanced medical imaging, focusing on innovations that integrate novel sensing principles, instrumentation, or acquisition techniques to advance diagnostic and analytical capabilities. Specifically, we invite original research papers that explore novel sensor-based image acquisition techniques, advanced instrumentation for medical imaging, and their integration with computational methods. Within this context, submissions may address advanced image processing algorithms for noisy or incomplete sensor data, ML models optimized for real-time analysis of sensor streams, and AI-driven frameworks leveraging sensor-derived features.
Contributions must emphasize sensor-enhanced methodologies to ensure differentiation from the journal’s broader scope. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Deep Learning for Medical Image Segmentation from Sensor Data;
- Machine Learning for Disease Diagnosis and Prognosis using Sensor-Derived Features;
- Computer-Aided Detection and Monitoring Systems based on Sensor Streams;
- Image Registration and Fusion of Multi-Modal Sensor Data;
- Three-Dimensional Medical Image Analysis and Visualization from Volumetric Sensor Data;
- Generative Models for Medical Image Synthesis and Enhancement from Limited Sensor Data;
- Quantitative Image Analysis and Biomarker Discovery from Sensor Data;
- AI-driven Image-Guided Interventions and Robotics using Real-time Sensor Feedback.

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-anonymized 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.
