Advances in Medical Microwave Imaging and Signal Processing, and Hyperthermic Technologies for Healthcare

Dear Colleagues,

In the past years we have observed significant progress in the area of biomedical radiofrequency (RF) and microwave (MW) technology to improve diagnosis and treatment, with several efforts pursued internationally, including within large international networks.

The focus of this Special Issue is to gather the latest advancements regarding the applications of electromagnetic systems that are currently undergoing early proof studies and/or clinical studies, with varying levels of development in terms of device prototyping and pilot clinical studies, for both diagnosis and/or treatment. Related research on revisiting dielectric and/or thermal properties of biological tissues is welcome, as well as refinement and optimization of anthropomorphic phantoms. Significant software and hardware improvement for RF/MW technology is also welcome. Submissions addressing the design of prototypes suitable for clinical evaluation, considering issues of safety, patient comfort and other related practicalities, are also welcome to this issue.

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-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.
