Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The quality assessment (QA) of sensing technology and systems based on ultrasound (US) has been receiving growing interest over the years due to their relevance and proliferation in several industries, healthcare fields and applications. In this regard, performance monitoring over time and non-conformities’ detection require protocols based on specific measurement methods and systems in order to check the quality in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations, comply with regulatory requirements and, in many cases, ensure user and environment health and safety.
- This Special Issue aims at collecting original research and review articles on recent advances and innovative solutions in the quality assessment of ultrasound-based sensing technologies and systems to provide useful information on the test protocols and methods as well as instrumentation performance to the end user.
- Topics of interest include but are not limited to QA of ultrasound-based technologies and systems in the following:
- Industrial measurement, test and process control applications;
- Healthcare;
- Pharmaceutical industry;
- Food science and technology;
- Manufacturing and production;
- Marine applications;
- Power applications;
- Materials chemistry;
- Automotive and transportation industry.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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.
