Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Physics principles applied to medical physics are well known, and ionizing and non-ionizing radiations have been in use for many years for medical imaging and therapy purposes.
Thanks to the rapid technological development, in recent years, we have witnessed tremendous progress in instrumentation for clinical applications especially in the direction of a personalized medicine, with new and more performant detectors, imaging modalities, new particle beams for therapy, and medical accelerators becoming available.
In this scenario, it is of paramount importance to understand what the new trends in the development of detectors are and which new methods, materials, and technologies are now available in medical physics.
The scope of this Special Issue is to collect original research works on cutting-edge detectors developed for medicine. The main topics covered include medical imaging detectors, detectors used in radiation therapy and hadron therapy, radiation protection and dosimetry, microdosimetry, and nanodosimetry, with special emphasis on interdisciplinary works.
Manuscripts regarding advanced detectors, novel approaches for characterizing and modeling materials, dedicated frontend readout and data acquisitions systems, as well as review articles on detector applications in medical physics, are welcome in this Special Issue.

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. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
