Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has revolutionized ophthalmology and is becoming an essential diagnostic tool in the field of cardiology, and is also an emerging technique in the field of oncology, dermatology, gastroenterology, pulmonary medicine, gynecology, surgery guidance and evaluation, and other areas of biomedicine. This Special Issue features every aspect of the recent advances in OCT technology, including new lasers and OCT light sources, novel instrumentation, new sensing methods, novel fiber-optic techniques, novel methods for processing OCT data, ultrahigh-resolution OCT, ultrafast OCT, functional OCT (OCT angiography, Doppler and polarization sensitive OCT, OCT elastography, etc.), phase-sensitive OCT, complex-conjugate-resolved OCT, long-range OCT, full-field OCT, new catheter designs and catheter-based OCT, OCT in needle forms, multi-modality imaging, OCT imaging and image processing powered with artificial intelligence, robotic OCT, OCT on a chip, etc. We also encourage translational research involving the development of novel imaging devices and analytical methods from bench to bedside, novel OCT applications for disease diagnosis, monitoring and treatment evaluation in clinic, as well as new OCT technologies and applications for basic science and animal research, any other new frontiers related to OCT, and OCT applications beyond biomedicine.

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.
