Recent Advances in Medical Image Processing Technologies

Dear Colleagues,

The purpose of this Special Issue is to introduce the current developments in medical imaging exploiting artificial intelligence (AI) and other techniques.

The categorization and analysis of biomedical images is extremely time-consuming in both clinical and research settings. Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) and medical imaging have allowed the deployment of novel methods to automatically analyze large quantities of data. To name just a few examples, they can be used to classify images, detect structures of interest, aid clinicians in performing more accurate clinical diagnoses or even improve the precision of surgeries through visual guidance. These methods could herald a novel era of personalized and more precise medicine, especially given that biomedical images provide information beyond the detectability capacity of the human eye and that current AI methods are capable of surpassing the performance of humans in many tasks.

The exploitation of these novel techniques brings the possibility of multiple different applications. Potential contributions to this Special Issue should focus on any application of AI methods to the processing and analysis of clinical data such as patient clinical history, images or videos, with the clear goal of aiding clinicians in improving current clinical care.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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.
