Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of Diagnostics, entitled "Recent Advances in Bone and Joint Imaging—3rd Edition", aims to showcase the latest developments in musculoskeletal imaging technologies and their applications in diagnosing and treating bone and joint disorders. Building upon the success of previous editions, this edition focuses on the latest progress in diagnostic imaging for bone and joint disorders, aiming to highlight innovative techniques that enhance the evaluation, diagnosis, and management of musculoskeletal conditions. With the rapid development of imaging technologies—such as high-resolution MRI, advanced CT, functional imaging, and AI-driven analysis—this Special Issue seeks to gather cutting-edge research that improves diagnostic accuracy and clinical outcomes.
We welcome original research, reviews, and case-based studies addressing recent advances in imaging modalities, image-guided interventions, AI-assisted diagnostics, multimodal imaging integration, and quantitative image analyses related to orthopedic and rheumatologic conditions. Submissions that explore the clinical impact and translational potential of these technologies are especially encouraged.
Dr. Yuichi Yoshii
Guest Editor
