Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Medical images are one of the most important sources of biomedical sensing data, including radiological images, pathological images and photographs of affected areas with special instruments. The sensor system developed based on medical images can not only integrate multi-modal medical data information to realize real-time monitoring of patients' conditions, but also predict patients' prognosis and even rehabilitation. In addition, biomedical sensing systems based on medical images offer the possibility of a standardized disease assessment that removes subjective judgments. In particular, some new techniques are introduced in this domain, such as Medical Image Processing Knowledge Editing for LLM Aircraft Detection and Recognition with Few-Shot Medical Image Segmentation based on domain adaption multi-omics information integration and Infrared Small Target Detection. Finally, we welcome the submission of manuscripts to our Special Issue on (but not limited to) the following topics:

  1. Test and analysis of the application effect of medical image key point detection algorithms;
  2. Test and analysis of the application effect of medical image segmentation algorithms;
  3. Test and analysis of the application effect of medical image target classification algorithms;
  4. The application of artificial intelligence in this digital measurement of human anatomy;
  5. Application of artificial intelligence in the diagnosis of coronary heart disease;
  6. Application of artificial intelligence in the diagnosis of pulmonary nodules;
  7. Application of human intelligence in spinal measurement;
  8. Calculation of the risk of disease or other unexpected events for healthy people or patients based on medical images;
  9. Use of real-time medical images to detect disease in patients, so as to assist treatment or provide an early warning of changes in patients' conditions;
  10. Perform diagnosis and differential diagnosis through medical images during the course of the disease, assist in the formulation of medical plans and predict the prognosis of patients;
  11. Based on medical images, evaluate the information that is difficult to obtain manually on images, including molecular biological characteristics and metabolites;
  12. Adopt new methods, semi-automatic or fully automatic medical information extraction, so as to improve efficiency.

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.

Title: Non-invasive estimation of bone position and orientation for knee replacement therapy using differential EIT - a simulation study
Authors: Jakob Schrott; Christian Stadler; Christoph Hintermüller
Affiliation: Institute of Measurement Technology, Johannes Kepler University, Linz, Austria
Abstract: The advantage of electrical impedance tomography is, it does not require any ionizing radiation compared to the X-ray or CT imaging methods required by the aforementioned marker based approaches. In this simulation study it is tested whether EIT can be used to locate the femur inside the thigh and provide and find an appropriate estimate of its axis orientation. The governing idea is to reduce wound healing disorders and avoid weak spots in the bone structure by replacing the marker based approaches by simple EIT based measurements on the thigh and lower leg. The basic approach tested is discussed in section 2 and the results obtained through simulation and a preliminary measurement of a simple saline gel model of the thigh are presented in section 3. Section 4 discusses the obtained results, encountered issues and findings.
