Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Recent advances of sensor technology in infrared and thermal imaging, combined with modern deep learning and artificial intelligence algorithms applied for the interpretation of digital content, are pushing biomedical applications in diagnostics, early screening, quantitative evaluation of data, including the development and evaluation of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in medicine, veterinary, sport as well as in physiology and psychology studies. Multimodality data are key factors for the improvement of the quantitative description of biomedical data and improvement of diagnostic, treatment and rehabilitation quality. This Special Issue of Sensors is devoted to discussing and reporting on novel applications of sensor technology, especially those developed to meet the requirements of biomedical expectations as well as the use of versatile commercially available instruments and systems adapted for such applications. Paper proposals describing specific applications of static and dynamic thermography in diagnostics, therapy, rehabilitation, screening, development of safety systems, biometrics, etc., are welcome. New procedures, algorithms and solutions at the preclinical stage as well as the results of broad clinical studies are of special interest. If we publish a certain number of high-quality papers, the issue will be published as a specialized monograph book. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  • Infrared and thermal imaging;
  • Diagnostics, therapy, rehabilitation quality;
  • Medicine, veterinary, sport, physiology, psychology;
  • Quantitative analysis;
  • Biomedical sensing;
  • Deep learning and artificial intelligence algorithms;
  • Functional near-infrared spectroscopy;
  • Passive and active thermography;
  • Non-invasive medical diagnostics;
  • Visualization and reconstruction methods;
  • Multimodality data fusion.

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.
