Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, there has been renewed interest in the development of microwave imaging and radar-based systems for biomedical applications and vital sign detection and analysis. Intelligent medical imaging offers significant advantages, including high speed, super-resolution images, and cost-effectiveness. Machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) techniques, which integrate big data and high-performance computing, have significantly advanced the study and application of these systems. Numerous studies have demonstrated the superiority of ML/DL-based imaging systems over traditional methods. However, a number of challenges remain in relation to fundamental theory, database development, and clinical applications.
This Special Issue will be devoted to exploring recently developed medical microwave imaging devices, encompassing machine learning theory, new imaging methods and devices, and signal and image processing techniques. We will highlight applications of microwave imaging, vital sign detection, and multimodal imaging more generally.

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.
