Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
On the wave of major technological innovations, X-ray medical imaging devices are undergoing an epochal revolution that promises a consistent impact on clinical practice. The introduction of innovative detectors aiming at reducing noise and costs, at improving spatial resolution, and at discriminating the energy of the X-ray photons is unveiling new perspectives and possibilities in the analysis of the produced images. At the same time, innovative sources are feeding new ideas, opening a brand-new class of applications that potentially mitigate limitations of conventional apparatuses. This is framed by the introduction of innovative software methodologies, such as AI and in silico medicine, which are revolutionizing the acquisition, processing, analysis, and reporting of medical imaging, and by the development of innovative X-ray sources that may shape the characteristics of the new apparatuses.
This Special Issue aims to bring together manuscripts on cutting-edge technologies and methodologies that are revolutionizing X-ray medical imaging. Topics of interest of this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Innovative detectors for X-ray medical imaging.
- Read-out methodologies for detectors in medical imaging.
- Innovative sources for X-ray medical imaging.
- In silico replication of X-ray detectors and radiological apparatuses.
- Dispersive or spectral techniques in multi-energy Computed Tomography.
- X-ray detector models.
- Spectral CT and Spectral radiography.
- AI applications in medical imaging acquisition, elaboration, and display.
- Quantitative radiology.
- Software methodology for analysis of radiological images.
- Innovative approaches and technology for dose reduction in radiology.
- Phantoms for image quality evaluations.

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.
