Infra-Operative Imaging, Sensing and Augmented Reality in Image-Guided Surgery

Dear Colleagues,

Image-guided surgery (IGS) has gained widespread acceptance in various clinical practices. Although the core concepts of IGS have not changed, advances in image guidance technology, including the incorporation of intra-operative imaging, sensing and augmented reality, have the potential to enhance the safety of surgery, improve the accuracy of interventions, and aid in more complete surgery, with improved outcomes. In the past few years, significant progresses have been achieved in developing novel intra-operative imaging means, in incorporating smart sensing technology and in the introduction of new augmented reality display.

This Special Issue is open to research and review papers in this field, including, but not limited to:

• Intra-operative imaging
• Robotic imaging
• Surgical imaging and vision
• Intra-operative sensing, perception and recognition
• Augmented reality in IGS
• Multi-modal image fusion and visualization

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.
