Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Microwaves are increasingly used in biomedical applications, both in diagnostic as well as therapeutic applications. Examples of developed techniques are radar-based approaches to detect respiratory activity, or microwave imaging techniques to detect strokes, as well as hyperthermia and thermal ablation techniques. Additionally, home-care applications rely on wireless sensors, as well as RFid developments.
The Special Issue will include the most up-to-date research on the use of microwave techniques in biomedical applications, including, but not limited to, the following:
- Electromagnetic diagnostics;
- Advancements in therapeutic techniques;
- Dielectric characterization of biological materials;
- Electromagnetic interactions with biological media;
- Microwave sensors;
- Theranostic applications;
- Bio-radar.
Both numerical and experimental studies are welcome.

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.
