Ultrasonic Systems for Biomedical Sensing

For the last few decades, the ultrasound and its relevant multimodal system have been widely utilized as a promising technology in biology and medicine. Currently, ultrasound sensing and imaging systems have become one of the key methods for measuring cell and tissue properties, such as molecular, mechanical, and chemical properties. Recently, the development of various ultrasound sensing and imaging systems has been further explored to meet a broad range of applications.

This Special Issue aims to bring together recent studies on new ultrasound imaging and sensing systems, ultrasound-based multimodal systems, mobile ultrasound systems, ultrasound transducers, and their applications in medicine and biology.

Papers addressing a wide range of ultrasound sensing and imaging innovations are sought, including, but not limited to, recent research and developments in the following areas:

• Ultrasound imaging;
• Wearable and mobile ultrasonic sensors;
• Ultrasonic biosensors;
• Ultrasounds in cell sensing;
• Multimodal sensing and imaging systems based on ultrasound and optical technology;
• Ultrasound-based elastography for the measurement of mechanical properties of cells and tissues;
• Other associated devices and applications.

Both review articles and original research papers associated with ultrasonic systems, relevant multimodal systems, ultrasonic sensors/transducers, and their applications in biology and medicine are solicited. There is a particular interest in papers concerning applications of high-frequency ultrasound elastography, multimodal imaging systems for analysis of cells and tissues, and wearable/mobile ultrasonic sensors.
