Biomedical Imaging and Sensing

Dear Colleagues,

Human health monitoring technologies have recently seen a rapid and exciting growth. Advances in hardware and software systems have enabled new ways of detecting, monitoring, and tracking health-related biomarkers in clinical, preclinical, and home environments. This technological shift has led to improved healthcare efficacy, including earlier detection of diseases, novel treatment procedures, and quantitative self-monitoring.

Recent growth in computational power and sensors has enabled both new sensing technologies and new analysis techniques with well-established modalities. For example, advances in machine learning and image processing techniques have become widespread across different facets of biomedical imaging and sensing for identifying complex patterns. Likewise, hardware advances have yielded health monitoring technologies in difficult environments, such as ambulatory monitoring. To bring different facets of health monitoring together, papers reporting novel imaging and/or sensing methods with preclinical/clinical applications are invited for submission to this Topical Collection. The core themes of this topic include but are not limited to:

• Classical machine learning techniques for image analysis
• Machine learning and health outcomes;
• Machine learning for biomedical sensing;
• The generation of synthetic patient data;
• Quantitative image analysis;
• Deep learning and diagnosis;
• Biomedical image reconstruction;
• The generation of natural language descriptions of biomedical images;
• Computer-aided diagnosis.

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. 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-anonymized 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.
