Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
“New Trends in Musculoskeletal Imaging” will be a special forum for specialists and sub-specialists of mobility medicine to share developments in classic and novel management techniques, particularly relevant for the world’s aging population and young people who suffer from genetic and acquired diseases of the skeletal muscles and their associated tissues (fascia, tendons, joints, and nerves).
The keywords below list the many different specialists who we hope will be interested in providing their suggestions and/or criticisms. However, it is necessary to underline that, without a correct diagnosis, any management intervention could be at risk of increasing, rather than decreasing, patient discomfort. Furthermore, this topic interests the entire population, regardless of age, because prevention measures must start from a defined knowledge of each individual. The two linked special issues below can provide further information for any interested authors.
Prof. Dr. Ugo Carraro
