Advances in Light- and Sound-Based Techniques in Biomedicine

Dear Colleagues,

Advances in optical and ultrasound-based techniques have resulted in the emergence of innovative and transformative tools that can be used to probe biomedical and biological systems at the subcellular, cellular, tissue, and organ levels. Due to their unique potential to provide low-cost, safe, and portable medical devices with extremely high sensitivity and specificity, optical and ultrasound techniques are expected to play a prominent role in next-generation diagnostic, analytical, and therapeutic modalities. This Special Issue encompasses a broad range of techniques, mainly focused on recent advances in instrumentation, multi-modal configurations, theranostic combinations, contrast agents, and new instrumentation schemes towards affordable point-of-care imaging and therapy.

Topics include, but are not limited to:

• Optical Imaging and Spectroscopy
• Ultrasound Imaging
• Acousto-optic Imaging
• Photoacoustic Imaging
• Microscopy, Mesoscopy, Endoscopy
• Affordable and portable light sources (laser diodes, LED) and light delivery methods
• Data Processing and Novel algorithms
• Tissue mimicking phantoms
• Novel Optical, Acoustic and Photoacoustic Probes
• Optical and Ultrasound Therapy
• Fluorescence, Raman, Photoacoustics, Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), Hyperspectral Imaging

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.
