Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Imaging diagnosis is of great interest in the field of musculoskeletal studies. New insights into imaging diagnosis are important for different musculoskeletal structures such as cartilage, tendons and ligaments. Imaging of cartilage uses advanced MRI techniques such as CEST, sodium and T1rho imaging and real-time imaging can assess dynamic instabilities. Other approaches such as MR sequences with ultrashort echo times, quantitative susceptibility mapping, or the combination of multiple modalities such as PET and CT or PET and MRI could also achieve improved diagnosis in musculoskeletal diseases. Imaging diagnosis could be influenced on the one hand by artifacts (such as motion, partial volume artifacts, or fat) or, on the other hand, by factors such as age and gender of the subjects. Therefore, in addition to presenting new approaches in the field of musculoskeletal imaging, important new findings on factors that could be relevant for or limit a good diagnosis will also be presented in this Special Issue.
This Special Issue aims to highlight new insights in basic, translational and clinical research in the field of musculoskeletal imaging.

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. Diagnostics 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.
