Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent advances in biomedical imaging and sensing technologies have revolutionized healthcare by enabling non-invasive visualization and the precise quantification of physiological and pathological processes. These innovations play a pivotal role in disease diagnosis, treatment planning, and therapeutic monitoring.
This Special Issue of Sensors, titled "Advances in Biomedical Imaging and Sensing: Technologies, Applications, and Future Directions", invites original research articles, reviews, and short communications that contribute to the development and application of advanced imaging and sensing techniques in biomedical contexts. We aim to highlight cutting-edge research on imaging modalities (such as X-Rays, MRI, CT, PET, ultrasound, optical coherence tomography, and photoacoustic imaging) and sensing systems integrated with AI, robotics, or novel materials. Topics related to the development of imaging sensors, image reconstruction algorithms, data fusion strategies, deep learning frameworks, and real-time diagnostic tools are particularly welcome. Contributions that bridge the gap between engineering and clinical applications—ranging from early-stage prototypes to validated clinical tools—are encouraged.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT);
- Optical imaging and photoacoustic imaging;
- Ultrasound and elastography imaging;
- Positron emission tomography (PET) and SPECT;
- Multimodal and hybrid imaging systems;
- Smart biosensors and imaging sensors;
- Ai and deep learning for biomedical image analysis;
- Real-time medical image reconstruction;
- Biomedical signal and image fusion;
- Medical image segmentation, registration, and classification;
- Image-guided interventions and therapy;
- Wearable imaging devices and portable sensors;
- Novel sensor materials and imaging hardware designs.
We welcome contributions from both academia and industry that address theoretical advances, practical applications, and case studies with real-world implications in biomedical imaging and sensing.

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.
