Sensors and Advanced Medical Imaging

Dear Colleagues,

Anatomy and physiology are the fundamentals of medicine. One of the earliest medical sensors, the stethoscope, is still an invaluable medical tool for examining the structure and function of the heart. The stethoscope is also an excellent tool for diagnosing disease. The electrocardiogram, a wearable sensor, provided novel insight into the electrical nervous system of the heart.

Advanced imaging in the form of ultrasound, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and nuclear medicine has revolutionized the ability to diagnose and monitor disease by not only providing detailed anatomical imaging but also physiologic information. More recently, molecular imaging has also become a more routine part of standard of care.

The next leap forward will require the synergistic combination of advanced sensor technology and imaging. This powerful combination will provide new insights into the structure and function of both health and disease. This fusion of technologies has the unique ability to study the complex and diverse connections among systems.

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.
