Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on the essential role of musculoskeletal imaging in diagnosing and managing a wide spectrum of orthopedic conditions. From trauma and arthritis to tumors and postoperative evaluations, advanced imaging modalities, such as MRI, CT, and ultrasound, aid in the accurate detection, characterization of disease, and treatment planning. Emphasizing collaboration between radiologists and orthopedic surgeons, this issue invites contributions that highlight how imaging guides clinical decisions and improves patient outcomes.
